Rental property near Military base (BAH)

Anyone have any experience in renting to military families. Pro's and Con's of the BAH (Basic Housing Allowance), turn over rates, best ways to market rentals (ie how to get in military lisitings), and are there any building codes and/or inspection requirements when dealing with BAH? Thanks in advance.

I manage about 80 rentals in Columbia, SC and about 60 of them are rented to Soldiers at Ft Jackson.  I find soldiers to be better than your average tenant.  They almost always pay on time several pay by auto draft, and they usually are pretty responsible people in general.  And they are used to having to leave the place spotless from on base house standards.
