I would be upset if someone called my commander asking about my PCS plans.

We stick with neighborhoods that command rents of at least $750/mth for a 3Br.

For instance, do you say that they shouldn’t nail anything to the wall and only use command strips?

Unless you're right on top of MSU, you can't command top rents - much of Lansing proper is in tough shape economically, since GM (and its suppliers ) have shed a lot of jobs there, and the state government is bankrupt.

This area is nice but also commands higher rent.In my opinion, Southwest Raleigh delivers the most bang for the buck.

If you offer to give the developer enough time on the contract to get permits you'll design out a ton of risk for them and this should command some premium for your contract price.

After all, it's the home of the FORSCOM, SF, and Reserve Command. 

I know that this property in living condition would easily command $450/month (and likely more) for 6 people= $32,400 annually (I lived in this city for a year, and paid rent about a block away from this house).

Remember the 3 commandments; we make $ when we buy, we retain $ when we renovate, and we reap it when we capitalize it (sell/ rent).

For this they command a premium cost, one that will compress an investors budget.
