Are they accredited through CHPA / Corporate Housing Providers Association or an other organization? 

To help me stay organized.

If I still lived in Washington State I would be there to organize a change.

I would really like to be more organized and have everything in one place.

I would trust them to do this as they have already been handling all the small maintenance themselves and organizing professional repairs when necessary, which we deduct from rent.

In order to organize your search, create a spreadsheet and gather the following data points for the past 5 years for at least 7 midwest markets:- unemployment- job growth- job diversification- income growth- population growth- home pricing- rent affordability- vacancy ratesAlso note, landlord / tenant laws and property tax ratesOnce you have this, order your search based on trends (there isn't a perfect market either). 

Further, we don't know how the OP is organized for federal income tax purposes.Thus, the conclusion that the lender has a 1098 obligation is premature. 

Right off the bat I could tell that he is super organized and thorough which was imperative for me doing an out of town flip. 

His is a quality organization, that I recommend you look into.

Contact a few lenders and see what they say.If you try 5, you will likely get 5 varying answers.It will also help you organize your info and numbers.
