Once again, thanks to all for the continued input.
Pima, I know of several Lts that'll be joining me at Dover, but don't know anyone there yet so I don't have the most current sitrep about what to expect as a new 1Lt. But I certainly expect to be flying a fair bit so that's a good point about DIY home improvements to increase value. And my primary concern still is on the selling side, since I have little desire to become a property manager from Elmo, or McChord, etc.
I'm continuing the search!
