Before I go further I'd like to ask that this discussion thread be strictly for uplifting and to help raise a generation of financially aware airmen, corpsman, sailors, and soldiers.My favorite stories I've heard on the BiggerPockets podcasts are when military members take advantage of each time they get stationed to a new part of the world and decide to invest there in those communities.

You may have better luck raising private money.  

Also section 8 is usually a couple hundred over regular tenants and you can ask section 8 for a yearly raise and they're usually very good with that (at least in my experience)I still think Real State business is really good in Baltimore it does have its caveats but overall the returns are pretty good (In my experience again) how different was it before.Btw, pretty cool art.

Applicant pool has been smaller than usual but I expected that as we just did some upgrades/refreshes  to the home and raised the rent $350 a month, add in Covid and well here we are.

I can't remember from when I was in FL re: rent and who normally paid, but in my opinion it raises the financial caliber of your potential tenants.

Who/Where/How have you raised money from partners & investors?
