Even that can be difficult, in my opinion, as it requires you get gross rents of about $1700/month, which is pretty high for many areas of the country, including yours I would wager.  

I am currently active duty military from the midwest.  

I have not been active in the forums and that is what I will do next!

I was wondering about real estate groups in our area and it's good to know that there are some active ones.

I would like somebody who I can work with to actively reduce my tax bill and to help me with strategies to maximize the deductions I can take within my business.  

You gotta be available and actively involved on any job or you'll pay dearly in the long run.

This year so far we have wholesaled 197 properties and flipped almost 95 properties with about 46 active projects. 8 of those projects are for Bolthouse Homes and we are starting two more so we will be at 10 active in IL and IN. 

Also is there, in general, a bump in activity/ lease ups in Oct in your market?

An activity you do not want to get involved with.  

There is a flurry of economic activity in pockets of Memphis right now, even outside the sacred loop.
