Would like to find a 4plex to live rent free while I transition from Air Force to civilian life.

We are both Air Force veterans and we are both passionate about Real Estate.

I still don't know where I will be stationed next and, since I have some level of choice for where I go next, was wondering if I anybody knew of any good markets for a total beginner near an Air Force base. 

I have not had any experience with general contractors in that area, but I know Air Specialty heating & cooling did a very good job on my single family home for HVAC.

Air Force for just over 3 years.  

@Tangala Williams I would think that the news report on the bandit signs was not one with a positive spin, therefore who would want to be on-air in a negative light?

This would be a buy and hold for us as a place to raise a family, close to shops, A+ schools, its 2000sq ft under air, and only really needs a roof within the next 5 years.

You would need a license to operate Air BnB type rentals from December 2016 onwards.

Yearly revenue is ~$22k and her expenses are around $6k net (not including cleaning, etc which are all passed-through to renters directly on Air BnB, etc).Does this only come down to management?
