@Matt GilroyI haven't been in the service in a long time, but traditionally, members who have dependents (spouses or children) usually have the option of living on-base in the military family housing for free, or off-base and receive a monthly housing allowance.So, it's not a bad gig.

Well maintained properties will lead to fewer urgent service calls and less property damage.Identify opportunities for property improvement.Clarify your expectations and tenant expectations.

These jobs have provided me a depth and breadth of experience (not just technical, but business, marketing, customer service, management, etc) and I intend to leverage it all as lily pads towards my goals. 

You have to provide the financing for us to buy the new property - either from cash reserves, a private loan, or a loan from a portfolio lender like a community bank.

I would love to answer any questions you have and share about our company and our services we provide!

You may have something written in the loan documents about the minimum ratio (ie. debt service coverage ratio, times interest earned, etc) that you need to meet in order to comply with their terms, so make sure you have the line items in your financial reports needed to calculate them.

I'm turning around to the community for help, does anyone have any recommended companies they would suggest that offer the realtor.ca listing service for a flat fee, no commission?

I would advise that you hire the services of a real estate attorney to draft the necessary documents in relation to the by laws of your state.

SF short term rental rules treat it as a separate unit, so you must rent for > 30 days for each reservation. 

They do integrate with our tenant screening service so I'm biased but I like the fact they provide options to let the client pick what fits their needs best.
