I'm debating between finishing out my contract and going full time real estate, or staying in the Army another 10 years for retirement.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

It appears it could be win win for both involved.I try not to because even as the strapping physically presentable whole gentleman I can tidy myself up to I have many mental and physical challenges that people incorrectly ignorantly judge me by so I tend to look past surface issues but discrimination has an important purpose and is how we stay alive.

So if the difference between current and market rent is truly $500, we would raise rent $250.You don't want to stall out on making progress toward market rent, but we like to keep good tenants a bit below market rent both as a reward and as an incentive to stay since they won't find comparable units if they shop around.

I started out a broke less then middle class stay at home mom, and now own a company whos net worth is well over 2.5 mil.

There might be a nonprofit or religious organization that provides rental assistance. 

To add to my above recommendation, make sure to pay close attention to the sold date as well and try to stay within 3 months of the date the comparable closed. 

Call it karma or the golden rule or however you want to lay it out there, real estate works for the folks who treat people the right way, folks who are genuine... sure they miss a deal to the person who beats them from time to time, but their conduct, acumen, character always performs in the long run, provides staying power.#4- THANK YOU to these folks for all they do...

You were lucky but you will need to stay on top of the situation.

The lawyers that we've gone to are telling us that we are required to pay for them to open an LLC and put the home in it (lawyers are saying the paperwork for an LLC is $1k) and we are trying to stay simplified and not pay the extra amount for the LLC so we can take action on the real estate deal.
