Just listen…Episode 283 Paul Thompson - Quite a new episode but I would think everyone would agree this is a top episode.

If all parties agree you can null the original contract and establish a new one.Alternatively, if there's no clause against sub-leasing then that could be an easy solution...just make sure the original tenant knows that if their replacement doesn't pay rent then they (the original) is on the hook for those funds.

The tenant requested to stay in the property till the end of June 2018 and I agreed to it.

I do agree it would look a lot nicer though.

@Robert Campbell, I agree with mailing like @Joseph M. is suggesting. 

Yeah, I agree, not just building equity right out the gate but the fact that your interest rate is protected in this climate for 15 years is very valuable.

As a Central Texan, I will agree that Killeen has an extremely high crime rate, but they just received a federal grant to set up task forces to help combat it. 

They also wouldn't make a decision without contacting me first (despite having agreed upon "anything less than $200 please fix" statement in contract). 

. @ Ned Carey - Warranty  deed  seems very ambiguous in one section it says this " By Acceptance  of this deed, Grantees represent that they have caused the subject property to be fully inspected, and Grantees agree to purchase the same in "as is" condition.

I agree with @Dan Mackin that COS is a good prospect for long term buy and hold, given the diversity and growth estimates, but I'd suggest Fountain / Security as a starting place for you, not knowing anything beyond the fact that you are serving this great nation (and THANK YOU, sir, for that!).
