I am retired Air Force, and currently work as a Sys.

My husband lived in Port Orchard before we met, and I love Gig Harbor.

I started investing several years ago when I was an Active Duty Air Force Officer, so I understand a lot of the challenges that come with investing while in the service.BP was and is a huge part of my success and I think you will learn a lot by being active in this community, while making some great connections at the same time.

Reckon I can get a loan, or make a profit out of thin air to start investing?

Complete rehab - new kitchens, baths, all new flooring, new windows, added central air for both units, What was the outcome?

Maybe our resident 1031 guru, @Dave Foster, will be willing to explain them.And, as it was mentioned, the very fate of 1031 exchanges is up in the air currently, since the Biden administration is likely to try to eliminate them.

Purchase price: $305,000 Cash invested: $45,000 An Air Force assignment took us to Delaware, where quick research showed that buying provided a much greater bang for the buck in terms of house quality.

Purchase price: $405,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $495,000 My wife and I joined the Air Force lifestyle in 2009, and rented for five years before we worked up the courage (and savings) to buy our first home (VA benefits helped!).

I set about making criteria for myself, such as brick houses (we didn't want to paint every few years), warm locations (didn't want to have pipes break during vacancies), at least 3 beds and 2 baths, near an Air Force base and so forth. 

The Ozone gas is a little heavier than air so it goes downward so I am not sure how effective it would be on a two story house.
