I feel like I could have done more but I am still active duty military (exiting the military in 2018 to be a full time agent).

Those "schedules" are for military contracting or official military purchases, not for individual use. 

I left the military and in turn left my properties behind.  

This also means that the Home Sale Exclusion cannot be taken on more than one home at a time.There are a few exceptions to the use requirement for out-of-residence care, unforeseen circumstances, and uniformed, military, and intelligence service.

My long term goal is to retire from the military and have enough rentals generating cash flow so that my income doesn’t change once I retire.

I know lots of military guys who are very successful in this field as they have those traits.

Let's use fake example, I find a military member that is moving out of state to a new base.

Hello,The military recently moved my wife and I out to Fort Stewart, GA.

I can tell you that the market is excellent here in the Springs due to the stability that the Military bases provide.  

Little background, I am active duty military and almost finished with a deployment.
