When investors evaluate a market, they often focus on population growth, job creation, and rental demand.

But there's another factor I pay attention to:

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐œ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐š๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ ๐”.๐’. ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ.

Here's something worth considering.

According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, approximately ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ-๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐”๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ ๐›๐š๐ฌ๐ž, relying on surrounding communities for housing.

And the impact goes beyond military personnel.

Military spouses, children, civilian employees, and local businesses are all part of these communities.

In fact, GAO research found that counties with larger military populations were associated with higher median rents.

But here's where investors need to be careful.

Before I consider a property, I want to understand:
โ†’ Is the military installation expanding or reducing personnel?
โ†’ What does the local housing supply look like?
โ†’ Are rents affordable relative to military housing allowances?
โ†’ Can the property generate sustainable cash flow?
โ†’ What happens if market conditions change?

As a 26-year military veteran, I've seen firsthand how important these communities are to service members and their families.

As a real estate investor, I also understand that ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ง ๐š ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ. ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐ซ๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ.

For me, investing near military communities brings together two things I value:

That's a question every real estate investor should be asking.

According to RealPages Q3 2026 report, national apartment rents increased 0.9% ๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ, ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐œ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ญ 95.4%.

Sounds encouraging, right?

But look closer at the numbers.

Some markets are telling a different story:

โ†’ ๐’๐š๐ง ๐€๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐จ: Rents declined 3.7% year over year.

So what's happening?

๐’๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ.

Many Sun Belt markets experienced substantial apartment construction in recent years.

More apartments mean more competition for tenants, which can pressure rents and force property owners to offer concessions.

As a commercial real estate investor, I've learned that ๐š ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ž๐ฌ๐ง๐ญ ๐š๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐š ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ.

Before considering a multifamily opportunity, I want to understand:

โ–ธHow many new apartments are entering the market?
โ–ธAre occupancy rates improving?
โ–ธCan the property maintain positive cash flow if rents decline?
โ–ธDoes the deal still work under conservative assumptions?

My military experience taught me to prepare for changing conditions, not just the best-case scenario.

I apply that same discipline to real estate.

Throughout my military career and more than 20 years in real estate, I've learned that success isnt about waiting for perfect conditions.

Not every market moves at the same pace.

Not every community experiences the same demand.

And not every positive headline tells the whole story.

That's why I continue to pay close attention to housing trends, particularly in communities surrounding major U.S. military installations.

These communities have unique housing needs, economic drivers, and long-term considerations that deserve attention.

In the military, we never relied on favorable conditions alone.

This picture was taken in 2012.

Looking at it today, I can't help but smile.

A lot has changed since then. We've grown older, built businesses, faced challenges, and experienced our share of ups and downs.

Real estate has been a huge part of my life. I love what I do, the opportunities I've created, the people I've helped through employment, and the families I've served.

But over the years, I've realized something important.

The 2026 U.S. Army Best Squad Competition at Fort Benning, Georgia, was a powerful reminder of what our soldiers are capable of.

I've been there.

When I transitioned into real estate, I didn't have a fortune waiting for me.

I had a wife, three young sons, responsibilities, and a future I needed to figure out.

Starting over wasn't easy.

But I realized something important:

Discipline kept me focused.
Leadership helped me build teams.
Problem-solving helped me navigate difficult deals.
Perseverance kept me moving forward.

Those lessons helped me become the real estate broker, investor, and entrepreneur I am today.

And now, one of my greatest missions is helping fellow veterans recognize that same potential within themselves.

Not every veteran needs to become an investor or broker.

I watched this video, and it truly touched my heart.

An elderly veteran stood by his window, crying. He had once dedicated his life to serving his country, but now he felt forgotten.

When a group of soldiers recognized his military honors, they marched past his window as a gesture of respect.

And that simple act brought tears to his eyes.

As a 26-year military veteran, this story reminds me why I continue doing what I do.

Leaving the military means more than leaving a career. Sometimes, it means leaving behind the mission and brotherhood that gave your life purpose.

What started as a career became an opportunity to build businesses, mentor others, and help fellow veterans discover new possibilities through real estate, investing, and entrepreneurship.

I believe every veteran deserves the opportunity to find a new purpose.

Not everyone needs to become a broker or investor. But everyone deserves something meaningful to look forward to.

Iโ€™ve shared before that my kids have been involved with me in the real estate business. Seeing them learn, work, and understand what it takes to take care of properties makes me proud, not simply because theyโ€™re following something I do, but because I get to see the kind of men theyโ€™ve become.

They grew up with many of the same values my military background taught me:

๐ƒ๐ข๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž. ๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ. ๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ. ๐‡๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค. ๐€๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ญ.

As a father, I wanted to give my children opportunities I didnโ€™t always have. But more than money or possessions, I wanted to give them a strong foundation.

Real estate has taught me a lot about wealth, but fatherhood taught me what real wealth actually means.

I could acquire more properties, close bigger deals, or build a much larger portfolio.

But if you asked me what makes me feel richest, it wouldnโ€™t be any of those things.

๐ˆ๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ.

Watching my kids grow into good young men is something no property, bank account, or business achievement could ever replace.

And maybe thatโ€™s the bigger reason we work so hard in the first place.

We build wealth not simply to have more.

We rarely think about the ceiling or the vents above us until something stops working. ๐Ÿ˜„

But those little details matter.

The vent is part of the home's HVAC system, helping distribute conditioned air and keep the space comfortable.

That's one thing I love about real estate projects.

You start realizing that a good property isn't just about what looks beautiful when everything is finished.

It's about ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐›๐ž๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ, ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐ž๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ.

Every repair, inspection, and little improvement contributes to the bigger picture.
