However, I found there is a city special assessment of $7400.

I'm from Springfield, and I know a bunch of realtors but none who specialize in rentals.

My entire life before I joined the military was spent in ridiculous poverty (I grew up in Orange which was a ghetto in the 70s) so I know exactly how that gig goes.

There can be attorney’s fees and/or special assessments that might fall in that window.

As you said, most banks expect it and some even require a special purpose entity be created for the purpose of holding the real estate securing the loan.

@Karell Nixon welcome to BP.Even within real estate attorneys specialize.

Does any military member have any suggestions for financing options?

Start asking them questions.3) Set up keyword alerts here on the BP forums for topics you are interested in (for example: LLC's, VA loans, Military, first time home buyer, Alabama, Florence, etc...)Good luck!

Hello BP family, I'm currently searching for a new accountant that specializes in RE investments and operations.

You may need some special licenses as @John Warren mentioned but you actually probably don't need a license to be an AirBnB manager /event coordinator.Lean into the new opportunity and I think it will pay off.
