not to spoil your thought process but that note basically would command a huge discount.. seconds behind construction 1st are highly risky no matter who the borrower is..  

My plan is to call and keep working up the chain of commands.

As a matter of fact, one of my strategies this time around will be to buy rentals right outside of military bases.I had an Air Force family rent from me in '04-05; greatest tenants you could ask for (plus you can always go back and complain to their command - you will get paid).

Larger footprints don't come to market very often and generally command high interest.

Should you buy one property that is super expensive, yet fully renovated, commanding a higher lease and attracting a higher qualified resident?  

An investor is going to read duplex , then show up and find two separate houses, which can command higher rents than a connected unit because tenants like the idea of living in a "House" instead of an apartment.

Monticello historic district will command a way higher price than Keystone or Los Angeles Heights!!

It seems to me that MFRs are already in high demand for investors and are commanding crazy prices.  

Even during "low" season, they're commanding premium prices, much stronger than relative properties for rent in US coastal towns/vacation destinations.

It’s smaller, a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath so doesn’t command as much per night.
