I am currently an active duty military officer stationed in Great Falls, MT.

I purchased the VA one already rented, at a discount, and the HI I lived in while stationed there.I have had the VA condo for almost ten years now, and while it has only gained some 50% in equity I have consistently increased rents and have very little vacancy loss. 

A shared vehicle, scooter, bicycle, or anything CAN be stationed on your property so users (residents and/or non residents) can access them.

People line up for the newest iPhone, but there's never a line at the gas station for a $30 burner.  

I'm stationed back at MacDill and discovered real estate investing when  trying to rent out a previous home I owned at my last duty station.

I've got a single family home in Vine Grove that I bought when I was stationed at Knox and it has been rental ever since I moved in 2013.

Alarms: Central Station monitored alarms will give credits5.

Talk to other people at the gas station when you're filling up.

Were going to purchase single family for ourselves and live in it while I’m stationed there for 6-8 months.

The other properties that are on the main road in this picture are commercial of various types, but there is nothing as large as the dollar store.There is also a Post Office and Fire Station nearby.
