Laura,They are located off Chipman road, about a mile east of View High Drive, and a little west of the shopping center with Best Buy, Lowes, etc.The average rent (and they range from $510 to $775 - crazy) is $605.  

My name is Pat Teten and I am an active duty Naval Officer currently in the Hampton Roads area.

Yesterday on the radio, a couple of local guys were talking about how Millenials are being told to move to Tampa and when they get here they hate the roads and traffic and low wages and dirt and want to move.

I sold lots and land.. 10% commish was minimum.. properties that were 1 hour drive by dirt road back into the national forest of Northern CA.. commish for those I charged anywhere from 15 to 30% ...

I'm up the road now in Malden.

Obviously I wouldn't want to go near Casino road...any other advice for that area? 

Clearly your current arrangement will lead to headache and trouble down the road and it will come back and bite you when you need it the least - latest at move out when the discussion about refunds happens.

Becausea) I can support the increased mortgage payment from that property alone, not to mention by "subsidizing" it via the cash flow from other properties and income sources if need beb) the value currently allows me to do so; maybe no longer 10 months down the road andc) because I now have an additional 100k sitting in my bank account that I can use to scoop up a good deal if and when one comes by.This money is cheap.

All last summer I talked to anyone I could about it and I had numerous people interested in investing but when the runner hit the road, no one dove in with us, which is totally fine.

You sound like your in the right road.
