Then you decide how to best put $25K to work....kitchen is probably where I’d start depending on the condition of the rest of the house. 

Live in smallest unit, rent out the rest.

Here is my plan:Jan 2020 - March 2020Buy my first property, located in NC, while I’m stationed in Okinawa, Japan… Read the rest, and please tell me why I should, or should not wait on buying the first propertyThis is what I will be leaving the military with (May 2020):If I don’t buy a property, around $100k ($25k of which is in a Roth IRA) The GI Bill - allows me to go to most public universities for free for 36 months, and provides a monthly housing allowance.July 2020-May 2021I plan on attending trade school for carpentry in the fall/spring semesters.

Now we can take the family there for a couple weeks each year while renting it the rest of the time.

My name is Bryan and I am excited to introduce my self officially as I have been stalking the BP boards for a while as well as listening to a lot of podcasts.  

However when I received official contract I was dropped my jaw. -- the contract is mix of English and Chinese in writing.

They notified me after the fact that the work had been done and that they would pay $100 and take the rest out of their rent for next month.  

Major global conference mega-locations like Vegas have already announced no conferences rest of year. 

An OSHA agent will have some kind of official identification on him when asked, some kind of badge.

I wouldn't want to owe the guy for all the deals you do for the rest of your life.
