I was tired of renting, in renting landlords were always counting on me to fix things as they broke air conditioner, water heater stove/oven leaky faucet... decided if I was gonna be a "handy man" I might as well own the property I'm fixing How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

If your tenants' place reeks you could anonymously mail them some air fresheners with a note that reads For your place, you stinky, gross pig-livin' human. :-)

We've stripped flooring, aired it out, painted the floor with oil-based primer, and the stench keeps coming back.

They're very inefficient and can be swapped out to an air handler setup in the attic so you can have central air.

They're a superior method of conditioning the air.

I am an active duty service member in the Air Force.

This would be cash+  The though here was to buy a new home to live in, Air B&B our current home (vacation destination). 

@Roderick Jamieson are you currently stationed at Fort Carson or Peterson Air Force Base?

My W2 job turned work from home so I am planning on renting an Air BnB during the buy and fix up process to be nearby to build those relationships.

I say this because the Federal Aviation Administration is warning air travelers about what it describes as a dramatic increase in dangerous behavior aboard passenger airplanes.
