However, some insurance carriers allow you to choose how much personal property you carry on a rental and some don't.To answer your last question, insurance brokers don't always have access to every insurance carrier or insurance option. 

ROI is the priority when choosing investment strategies.

Now, if you were to choose to purchase this property in the 150K+ range, the next appraisal (either at the close of sale or next time the county gets to it) may increase quite a bit and you need to be ready for that with your numbers.

You don't get to choose any options in the house. 

Hi guys, a newbie hereI'm in the Military, and about to move to Fort Stewart in GA.My wife and I have been doing some research around the base, but it's a bit hard for us to choose either we are going to rent a place or buy one.It's not our first time buying a property, but the market around the base looks very different than the one we have here.

I would choose neither of those options.What is making you so afraid of debt?  

It sounds like you have a few options to choose and think about.

Chicago Police, Fire  and public school teachers are required to live in the city limits so many choose this area / neighboring Edison Park because it has more of a suburb fee.  

It even shows you comps for other STRs nearby and you can pick and choose which comps you want to accept based on the amenities the properties share. 

Anyone know any good ones out there? There are so many real estate investing books but I can't believe there are almost none when it comes to this topic (as far as I can see).
