@William Joseph bring them to the police station.

Along Broadway about 1.5 miles North of Broad Street station.

The only thing I'd caution is you will most likely get stationed elsewhere at some point, so do your homework early on a great property manager who will take the property over.There's even products for the VA that will fund the rehab of a building, so you can force appreciation and sell it for a gain (or break even), in case you decide being a landlord isn't forceGood luck!

If the problem progresses from dirty dishes lying around to a pest infestation and rooms full of trash, you should take action.When I find myself in this situation, I always pre-emptively place mouse/rat bait stations around the house, and bait for roaches with Advion.

I think of this all the time when I drive past the local transfer station.

I heard that Ford was going to purchase the old train station to bring a ton of tech jobs. 

@Russell Brazil it's a 4 unit condo building (first floor unit) in the Brentwood neighborhood (zip code 20018) near the Rhode Island metro station (Red line).

I purchased my first home in Jacksonville, FL while I was stationed there in 2015.

Shopping, movie theatres, new gas stations. 

I have done exactly what you are considering; I have used my VA entitlements several times at each duty station I go to.
