., and Wallace and Wallace are some of the more popular mgmt companies around so I'd start there until you've got some foot soldiers.

When I lived in ft.Hood located in Killeen, Tx , there was a year long waiting list to get on base housing and most apartment complexes had a three month waiting period because there were so many soldiers that needed housing.

There is Russian saying (in my free translation) "Friendship is friendship, but keep your money separately", something like that - you get the meaning.A retired soldier I knew gave me another version, "Trust them with your life, never money or your wife."

When the soldiers are deployed (they're coming back now) the demand is way down when they're home it's way up.

Twatson that is a great idea - BuyandTry could conceivably work with numerous REI in a bunch of different states, if he knows other soldiers who live and have real estate problems in various states.

The agents/investors around here are slick, and pretend to be everything from wounded soldiers back from iraq, to homeless single mothers.

There are about a dozen jerseys in the room.  6 prints of Arnold, Mel Gibson as The Road Warrior, Sylvester as Rocky, Soldiers, Guns, Astronauts, and more pictures of pro atheletes in action. 

They make terrible Soldiers and always try to get out of deployments.

(Think art show, craft shows, home shows.) some soldiered on but many can’t afford casino or convention center prices.

Probably not the most sound advice but I often tell my soldiers as they are getting out to purchase a home where they are etsing to before they lose their LES, so they don't find themselves in this situation.
