I'm active duty and am going to be stationed in San Fiego for the next four years.

I discovered that there was actually a co-executor named years earlier, but she had relinquished her duties to her cousin.

Heading into this shift, I think it's our duty to start not only informing our clients but the public as well.

That way you're not representing the person who's looking to sell their home to you and you have no fiduciary duty to them.

Sight unseen inside with a handyman to check all the vitals is a no, no.

I am also active duty military so completely understand the "moving quick due to orders" dilemma after buying a property. 

First, this is a business and you need to do what you have to do.Second, military bases have housing for families and they probably will be able to get it.Third, assignments at bases usually are for 2-3 years, at least when I was active duty, so they would be moving eventually anyway.Expect them to resist you on this though, and attack on your patriotism possibly. 

Primary insurance also has a duty to defend you.

When you move on to the next duty location repeat the process and keep the prior home as cash flow.

I think that an investment in a great skip tracing service is critical because in the long run having accurate data to reach customers is crucial and a vital time saving tool.
