I know Brandon talked about commitment in his podcast but where I am in my military career and the job that I do in the military, I can not shift my primary focus from that to real estate investing 100%.

Looks like a basement window, are the basement walls bowing/shifting? 

Yes, it could be on an ever shifting mud zone.  

Is that something related to humidity, land shifting or something else?

If I work one extra shift a week (4, 12 hour shifts instead of 3) I could save closer to $2k per week depending on how much is taken out for taxes. 

I personally will be curious how the standards and expectations shift over the next 5-10 years in the property management field. 

A lot of them work night shift and they're not comfortable being in an area they feel unsafe after dark.

I also need to be able to grow as I shift into larger MF investments next year

Also remember you can factor in market shifts into your deal sheet. 

Rental inventory has also been rising in many of the lower priced areas, which suggest rent pricing is shifting or about to shift.
