Most of the time it's safe to rent to a military person or family but there are many military people who have never rented a home before or will cause some damage due to negligence or inexperience.Obviously military people can move between units, even on the same post, but it helps to at least have a starting point.

Easy enough fix, but the damage could have been much worse....Pay a roofer to certify it.

If I wanted to get into investing and I had to do so without relying on a credit score (and not damaging it either), this is what I'd probably do.

Maybe new windows and depending on the amount of damage tenants do all sorts of other costs that would possibly not be required if the home was owner occupied.

Unfortunately, that is a large enough percentage of the country that she has a shot of gaining an office where she can do some major damage...

This in turn is greatly influence GDP giving the market (both RE & stock) a false sense of security.

That probably had some influence on her decision.I say give it a shot using a small local bank.

They'll tend to have more organization, block-clubs and government influence when it comes to services/police presence/being heard when change is needed. 2) DOM is a good indicator of the seller's motivation/willingness to sell low IF the home has been on-market for a long time.

To the landlords here, I'm sure I'm not the only landlord here to have experienced a nonpaying tenant make a lot of claims about b.s. repairs needed, often from damage they created, in order to break the lease and try to get their security deposit back.

Could this possibly be termite damage?
