The best strategy I've seen is some purchase a home for every duty station they are located at. 

I have a motivated seller that wants to sell his tenant occupied  home.

The quality of the home surpass the quality that these other builder homes are making.

(at least for now) Even with a somewhat slower year than last in rental demand, even with interest rates returning to historical norms, overall home prices in the Gatlinburg market continue to remain stable, if not slightly climbing. 

Doesn’t Maumee hold up home sales until the owner does 40k sewer replacements. 

one does not have to risk EM and or big deposit until they get to do a HOme insprection and CO has been issued.. is that correct..

I spent many years personal flipping homes and then most of my career helping investors buy and sell.

Another option is purchasing land to add a type of tiny home, trailer, RV, Etc. 

A recent study showed that 80 people are moving to this city every week. 80 homes aren't being built here every week, so the demand continues to increase. 

You don't want treatment to drag on, possibly leading to your future guests taking bedbugs home from your place and suing you.
