The article is still relevant in the sense that the vacancy rate still remains at roughly the same elevated level (9%+) and if the post & local colleges were enough to absorb the inventory created by the Army & Air Force realignments, then the vacancy rate would expect to decrease - and that has not really transpired.

Just as important with a brokerage is shadowing someone at the brokerage performing at a high level.

Your VA loan eligibility will allow you to purchase primary residency homes (lower down payment and interest rates) that you can later use as rentals.

Most lenders want a minimum of $100k for just about any 30 year conventional loan so you'd be right at the entry level.

No matter how badly you wanted to get rid of it, you could put it up for a much lower cap rate and still sell it quickly. 

I don't think the level of tenant this property would attract would appreciate bamboo.

My experience is a small portion of buyers 10% or so will be just turned off since it will be disclosed, another 10% or so will try to think since it was there you should accept a lower price, but the other 80% don't care since it's now fixed and they have the warranty.

If you're sending the same mailer as your competition, you can expect a lower than possible response rate.

They can approve of the lower price and then they would have to come to closing to make up the difference.
