they own a house next to mine, their tree fell, destroyed my wall and chain link fence, left me to cleanup their tree mess.....refused to pay for it, made me sue them.....I actually argued the case in front of the governor of marland's wife, who is a district court judge.

I think from what I have read here from him, I would have definitely looked into using his company when I set mine up if I was aware of him at the time.Who I did use was UDirect IRA Services out of California, who I was also very happy with and would recommend highly.Dan Dietz

If you ever need some information or want to talk about being in the military and buying rentals let me know i bought mine while i was in. 

When I found Bigger Pockets I felt like I had found a gold mine. 

Up or down the coast (Mendocino / Humbolt / Santa Cruz/ Monterey) and maybe into Tahoe or the Gold Country (Calaveras / Amador / El Dorado / Placer / Nevada / Sierra / Yuba)  but the price would have to be super right for these - for vacation rentals... 

A friend of mine is a real estate broker and suggested I look into it.  

My company does PM ( personally i do not i pay people to manage mine... ) but our PM is a licensed agent who owns several of her own properties, so have extensive knowledge on who the best for repairs are as she also rehabs houses.

When I set mine up (in Dallas), I was in Texas for an Expo.

Your motivating me to write mine! 

Mine is based on form HUD-52641Part B of HAP contract under "Lease of Contract Unit": 'The lease for the contract unit must include wordfor-word all provisions of the tenancy addendum required by HUD (Part C of the HAP contract).'
