One thing that may be worth considering is shorter term leases to attract these army guys that may or may not be stationed there for a full year.

., recommended it to the tenants as a reference and also contacted an exterminator that I do business with that recommended the distribution of about ten bait stations around the area.

Only concern here is where to find a dump station.

Should the gas station fill my car for free because I'm down on my luck?

I once rented the upstairs unit of a duplex with owner occupied in downstairs unit - right across the street from a power station in Bellingham, WA. 

if u bought a house at each base u stationed & kept it til u retired after 20 yrs in military. 

I immediately rushed over to see what was going on as I do not live on the property and ended up at the police station to gain a copy of the report filed.I want to issue them both a first warning notice explaining that if something like this is to happen again, I have no choice but to use my discretion on a plan going forward.

I property manage (unlicensed) a duplex for a friend who was stationed overseas.

If I really thought I was going to get fined and arrested I would go to the police station, explain that I was a landlord and that my tenants really needed the dryer because that one was dead and I am only going to HD and getting a dryer and bringing it there, and we will all maintain distance. 

If he wants to come up to USMA and challenge my defense of a service member deploying into harms way then he knows where I am stationed, the door is open.
