I think they are well settled in and at the end of the lease will buy a SFR since their family is growing.

The two main issue with the property are large cracks in the brick basement walls and foundation issues both from settling.

Haven't settled on one yet, but there are some prospects.

Slanted doors and things like that can be indicative of a settling house- that would be problematic. 

You can't settle a partial claim in less than full

If you have to settle for less than optimal tenants because times are tough they will likely trash your units.

They do have savings built up, but I am sure even with the military PCS'ing them they will still have some expenses getting settled. 

We always recommend to our landlords in Florida to do everything possible to settle outside of court because you never know what's going to happen when you get in front of a judge.

My other choices are to buy a turnkey out of state (which I find very interesting but scary at the same time since I don't know many people out of state) or to just keep saving until me and my serious girlfriend are ready to settle down into a house hack.What I would love to do is buy a one a family out of state for around 100K so that I can get started in real estate and also not have to put a huge down payment so that I still have the capital to do a house hack in the future.

This is also determined on where we settle which is hard to narrow down at this stage and if my brother in law wants to come in with us on some deals.Im an ambitious person, with experience in property.
