The 4-unit bldg has 4 newer heating systems (natural gas).  

I know that this tends to be a natural thing, we always complain and rarely appreciate.

Naturally I was the one that they sent to do a lot of the regular maintenance and repairs on them.

My husband is active duty we have been able to leverage both the transient nature of this job and our VA loans.

Just be natural and try to figure out how you can help them solve their problem (they do not know you're a newbie)Just keep on trucking, call upon FSBO's and keep marketing.

Human natural solids can cause system failures without the introduction of foreign materials. 

The shitter the little town the better*transient population exceed natural houses available so with BAH the prices for rent tend to be higher than mortgage*Not all bases are created equal- the key is to know your base.

However I don't lay out the application on the counter, I put them in a drawer and only hand them out if and when asked.Personally I don't like artificial scents or fragrances, candles or sprays, I go with natural and organic. 

But that can be the nature of the investment.
