Most military use it more than once because they PCS to another duty station, and buy again there. 

Any lender will be held to a higher standard than say a partner, but any party to any business arrangement has similar duties.

Treating the buyer as a "Customer", which, contrary to what it sounds, is actually less fiduciary duty to that buyer.

Oahu is severely overpopulated with a huge % being active duty.

You might continue to do all of the duties in the beginning but if you change your mindset to start looking for ways to either get others to do the jobs or find automatic ways to have it completed I think that is key. 

I am an active duty Soldier and recently I was out of the country when a water leak coming from the hot water tank was discovered in one of my properties.  

Landlords also provide a vital service.

We sold our house before leaving his last duty station and made a nice little chunk off that and are looking to start investing in real estate with it while we use a 0 down VA loan for our primary residence.

The rent goes up, people can no longer afford to  invest in the upkeep of their homes, the investors put very  little into the maintenance of the community and soon the once vital neighborhood is a sad place to be.  

I think there is a balance on how you ask or present these questions....when you think about it there are probably 100 standard questions you could ask them, that they won't know the answer to....it's just our every business....items that are legal, that are important or vital to the transaction, but they've never thought about and when they do they understand why they need to hire you to sell and walk them thru the entire deal.....I mean what homeowner knows about septic disclosures, or PID, PUDs, MUDs, or lake level disclosures....or what happens if the buyer just never closes....what are their remedies, now that they have a contract...can they as the selller back out or is it only the buyer that can terminate?
