The above, combined with the fact that you've never even met this person, makes all of this reek of a scam. 

The return commute is a little worse, but rarely longer than 80 min.

Combined with the other perks and relatively low cost of investment, I decided to go for it.As you mentioned: "No property taxes are huge.

Post clear instructions there. label things like extinguisher.and i doubt you cannot handle the rare situation "at work".

I am not a service member, but I work with lots of vets- those who start investing early and combine REI with their military benefits can do VERY well.

Now if you combine this with a rent appreciation that significantly surpasses inflation then it can “makes sense from a cash flow point of view“.Would I purchase such a property?  

Combined with the anxiety related to the COVID-19 we're not exactly on terafirma.This week we saw the 10 year treasury bottoming out at a historic 0.35% ( it was 1.8% at the beginning of the year, an 80% decline in yield/increase in price).

This time it's health related with broad shut-downs occurring for indefinite periods and no way to know how long before it improves, like the problems of an economic crisis and hurricane FEMA-type situation combined. 

If in the best case scenario (and you rarely get the best case scenario) it still doesn't BRRRR out, then I would probalby walk.

As others have said, pay attention to the plan's details.Another thought you could consider is that you could combine retirement funds with non-retirement money to invest in bigger projects or things like syndications.Best of luck!
