I'll probably make a trip and we might have some overlap where I could show you what I'm working with. 

Out of curiosity, do you have a different lawyer and servicer lined up in each state that you buy notes in or is there any overlap?  

Try your hardest to overlap your transition while on terminal leave is my one tip and piece of advice for all our Transitioning Military Members.

If you want smooth, it might call for actually removing stucco and putting new one, it will not be cheap, if you want cheap, power wash with bleach or tsp, scratch and overlap but frames will always be an issue. this overlap might need about 1/2" more, so not that bad.

However at first you will find a lot of things overlapping as you power through to get the momentum going but ultimately you will start to divide up so you are both not wasting time

Anything that overlaps is considered shared and counted in the requirement list.

We have overlapping water districts, mosquito districts, school districts, bla bla bla.Back to that website quoting 0.866%, that's a blended mix of long-time homeowners and new, so rather useless - my grandma who had owned her $1.2m MFR for a million years was paying about 0.2% per year in property taxes (and STILL complained about it...).

These are not always from the same source...or in the same form.3 -Establish a minimum profit you want to make on each flip (in $$$$$, not %), and the minimum cash flow from any hold properties you buy.4 - Establish what your "entrance" options are from a financial perspective...which includes strategies, and develop a property profile around them.5 - All of this then establishes your analysis criteria for maximum purchase price, your minimum sales comp, and cash flow for analysis.6 - Now, I look for markets where these criterias are in multiple properties, and in groupings.7 - When you have your buying criteria (opportunity cost) overlapping either or both of the other two criteria, you have your micro-market(s)8 - Camp out there and wait for the properties that match your criteria pop up.It's kind of like the arcade game "Whack a mole".This system is far less work, far more efficient, and far more accurate.  

If you have multiple streams or rivers, their flood zones may overlap during certain rain events.Also, another issue that many people don't know is that you can apply to have a flood map revised to remove your property with the proper backup.  

Eventually your skill set and goals should overlap somewhere.
