The area has been good to me so far with a few SFRs that I bought as foreclosures that rented as soon as they were put on the market to quality renters. 

Hello Stan,Quality duplexes can be hard to come by in parts of Augusta.

I have spray painted ugly metal windows or sliding doors with a quality white paint.

We increase the per diem aggressively starting the day after the seller is supposed to be gone.These things can turn ugly.I recently helped someone to buy an SFR in Plymouth. 

I can't say anything about this quality, but I met a Real Estate Attorney this weekend at a meet-up.

As your assets increase you may want to get a personal umbrella policy (PUP) to cover any additional liability.

Also, what was the quality of the on base housing compared to off base.As far as the destinations you mentioned, I know there are definitely opportunities in Oceanside, CA near Camp Pendleton and Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City near 29 Palms.

We are looking to perhaps move into a larger place, and rent out our original duplex, which would increase our monthly cash flow even more.

I picked up a copy of Chris Clothier's Turnkey Revolution book and it only increased my interest.I reached out to Memphis Invest to set up a 1 on 1 call and was quickly contacted by a portfolio advisor to set up a call for later this week.
