Join a local LL association, hang out here, make sure you know your numbers; all the best!

And maybe expanding your radius to nearby towns etc. also the low hanging fruit on the MLS sometimes is stuff on market at a certain price but knowing your numbers and making a lower offer.

You could save about 40 percent of the full bid if you pieced it out.Hire a handyman to demo.Ask your handyman if he can do windows, doors, sheet rock, tape and mud, trim work,painting, tile work, hang cabinets, install vanities, etc.Ask him if he has tools, tile machine, compressor, hand guns,  Sometimes handyman are old General Contractors that didn't renew their paperwork.Hire a framer to remove or add walls and new rooms.Hire an electricianHire a plumberHire a sheet rocker and mudderHire window company or handyman to install the windowsHandy man can also do so much .Make sure the electrical and plumbing is done right.Most states allow $2000 of work for a handy man. 

Hard, because a lot of the low-hanging fruit is gone and you're going to have to get off the beaten path and turn over a lot of rocks.  

Would it be more advantageous for me to just hang on to my property and risk the demand falling in the future?

I would caution you that this is speculative and can come back to bite you if there is a downturn in the market, but if you can hang in there you may be able to ride the ups and downs of the market and choose the time to sell when the market is up.Lots of stuff to consider, but there are several people who have served and obtained properties in their duty station while doing so. 

If not they may be hanging on as long as possible whether they’re safety is at risk or not.

I just plan to host a number of businesses in the main area, and I am currently finding out from an engineer if I could put a full two-bedroom apartment in the attic (space is there, just need the engineering stamps.)So yes, I have the bug, and I'm just going after the low hanging fruits for now, but in the future, I want to flip one house (even it's with a partner where I do the rehab on the side for the experience) then when I get my credit where it needs to be I'll like to get into a small multifamily.

(I have done drywall, skim-coating, electrical, plumbing, hanging doors and windows, and laid LVP flooring previously.)Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
