We sprayed a nest that was forming, and apparently that didn’t take care of the bees.

Higher rents equals higher taxes.depending on your income you may be relegated to a condo which the association fees will cut drastically into your costs and eventual profits.If you are going to buy I would check with other military people who are considering selling and buy directly (assign or attorney) without a realtor. 

Hi, I'm Daniel from Culver City, CA and have been in commercial banking for over 10 years and recently passed the CA RE Salespersons test. 

I would be very careful about interpreting data, especially with real estate. 

Personally, I prefer to manage all my properties because a) no one cares about them more than me, b) there's no PMs in my town worth a crap anyway, c) my properties are fully renovated and rent so fast that PMs would do virtually no work for their pay anyway, d) I'm a control freak, e) I make more money. 

They are getting to the point where they need around the clock care and need to sell their house  where they lived to help pay for the health care and living expenses .  

One won't cut it. 

So far I have been unlucky with the few prior brokers I worked with.Either they have no clue how to deal with rentals and LLC or they never follow up on requests and I have to chase them down for weeks before getting any  return call.I am looking for a broker who could take care of all my insurance needs for my home, LLCs with rentals, condos, commercial and personal liability, etc...

It does seem like a risk I wouldn't want to take.I'm sure you will, but be careful to use insured and licensed remediators for lead and asbestos, if for no other reason than liability. 

Most agents/ brokers either don't understand wholesaling, or don't like it cause they think it cuts into their potential commissions.
