I started my real estate investing I here on the East Coast where I was sent here just like you by the military (Air Force and I was a E-3), I started purchasing homes(no money down) and rented them out to O-2s, O-3s We lived on Base here on Ft Meade in 40 old row homes for low ranking enlisted housing, for the first year or so, when I stared to purchasing newer foreclosed homes, small apartments and those higher ranking military folks were paying my mortgages!

But just to clear the air again, I have absolutely no intention of ever hurting anybody, even if it costs me.

Does its make it an "air tight" transaction so theres no hiccups down the road?

I am in the Air Force.

Other numbers except for the asking price are up in the air at that point though.Let's say I like the property as described and want to proceed to the next step - that is to get the repairs estimate and inspect the property.

Air pressure with a gauge for the water.

As @Andrew S. said: "Some landlords will deal with such a situation upfront in their lease and put in a clause that says "the washer is provided as a one-time benefit for the tenant but will not be serviced or replaced if/when it fails".We provided window air conditioners to two tenants in our SFRs, and the leases state that they are a courtesy from the landlord and will not be repaired or replaced.

Is your furnace gas forced air?

I'm currently active duty Air Force in New Jersey, my enlistment comes to an end in August and it's back to Nashville after 9yrs.

For instance, I found a foreclosure for $25,000, went out to look at the property and from the outside, I could tell that there were no indications of foundation problems, could use new shingles (but no need for whole roof rebuild), new windows and probably air-conditioning repair(10-15,000).
