I’m thinking of wholesaling route to get in the game, because of our desire to stay away from debt as much as possible even with real estate.

Remember to stay flexible. 

Dust yourself off, keep your chin up, stay positive, and move forward.

Low income tenants, with the father working and the mother staying at home with the children.

I'm debating between finishing out my contract and going full time real estate, or staying in the Army another 10 years for retirement.

It appears it could be win win for both involved.I try not to because even as the strapping physically presentable whole gentleman I can tidy myself up to I have many mental and physical challenges that people incorrectly ignorantly judge me by so I tend to look past surface issues but discrimination has an important purpose and is how we stay alive.

So if the difference between current and market rent is truly $500, we would raise rent $250.You don't want to stall out on making progress toward market rent, but we like to keep good tenants a bit below market rent both as a reward and as an incentive to stay since they won't find comparable units if they shop around.

I started out a broke less then middle class stay at home mom, and now own a company whos net worth is well over 2.5 mil.

I can see the undercapitalized landlord though freaking out.. they are in a no win position.. if you cant stay afloat missing 3 yo 6 months of rent your in bigger hot water than you realize regardless.

To add to my above recommendation, make sure to pay close attention to the sold date as well and try to stay within 3 months of the date the comparable closed.
