My strategy has always been to buy opportunistically and I will continue to do so.I don't know what will happen, but I assure you it will not be a replica of '08Generals(Soldiers, etc.) always fight (prepare to fight, are condemnedto fight) the last war.  

As an active duty soldier, I’m always gone...

Hopefully, you weren't one of those Soldiers who was taken advantage of by the car salesman with a high interest car loan.

They are generally in town to visit a soldier and just need a place to stay.

Yeah, I'm still in touch with many of my fellow Soldiers from my last unit at Fort Huachuca, AZ. 

I was still in the Army at Ft Hood in Killeen and a fellow soldier skipped out on me.

In my experience, Soldiers are fine signing 12 month leases, because it's relatively easy for them to break the lease without issue.

I have assisted one of my soldiers from getting back their deposit and some "fees" in the past none as high as you are charging but I would seek legal advice from a lawyer who better understand the details in SCRA.

BP was recommended by my friend and fellow former Soldier, @Randall Cornelison. 

But I shall soldier on.
