I have found some information that might be helpful John.There are government backed programs like Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation Loan and Freddie Mac Home Possible Renovation Loan, in addition to the FHA 203k loan. 

The opportunity to collaborate with Debra Cottom on a deal requiring no renovations made it a perfect fit for a swift and profitable transaction.

I have three right now that its time to get rid of as they do not fit our model nor do I want to take the time to continue to manage these (even with a PM).

Are there specific military programs or contacts I should look into for housing opportunities?

If you're looking for the lowest price entry, Cleveland, Dayton, Springfield, and Akron would all be good fits. 

Like I brokered a 22  lot development of duplex's for a builder and just charged him 30k flat fee per sale.. they sold for 225k each back in 05 when I did this and I sold them all in one weekend at a big event i paid for in San Jose CA.. all to CA investors it was my fly and buy program I did in those days..

For rewards-focused credit cards, Capital One or Chase Ink (I use this one, among others) might fit your needs.Hope this helps narrow things down.

You can get combo units that are 24" wide and fit under a countertop so they can go right in a kitchen setting. 

Upgrade to a commercial-style stackable setup that can dry faster (30–45 minutes), hopefully fitting in our existing laundry closet without extra electrical work.Any recommendations or specific brand/model suggestions for handling this high-volume, semi-commercial laundry?

I have the contractors in my network so I feel a light rehab would fit well for the first one.
