That's your best shot at a sale.Good luck in your pursuit of commercial.  

That said with a monthly mortgage of ~2800 - I thought once I can get the units rented, however hard - I’d be in decent shape with cashflow and have a base hit type of first investment. 

It appears this Is sure shot way of staking up on properties!

For you, I would think you might want to find a property that will still cash flow decently if you get stationed somewhere else, or have to go on an IA or something similar.  

@Robert WilliamsThat was a pretty decent list in the links above. 

Given your youth and lack of experience in anything and everything, you should look for a brokerage that can put you on a sales team where you are responsible for certain tasks and you feed off the success of the entire team, usually led by a hot-shot that knows how to sell.

If you spent a decent portion of this $150K on capital improvements, in theory you will be deducting them over the remaining economic life of the properties.

You can't touch a decent duplex in my market for $200K that cash-flows. 

I have owned and managed STVR's since 2015 and have developed a pretty decent nack for it.

For the former, any decent accountant should be able to set your straight.
