I'm down here in Texas and through exploring the local area I have found a number of nicely priced duplexes near a military base which got me thinking; Is anyone here willing to share their experience owning rentals in a place where there is only one major employer?

Yes, Southwest Riverside is Temecula and Murrieta.I have several properties that have done extremely well.Super strong rental market, great schools  Good employment (Lots of people commute out to San diego or Orange county, but a lot work here as well.)I now manage properties for owners here and they are extremeley happy with type of tenants, turnover, appreciation etc. 

You get to pick your friends and choose your employment.
