I'm new here myself and don't have any advice at the moment, but wanted to say welcome and thank you for your service! 

What are some other services in Real Estate that I could offer that are profitable.

It doesn't say "intend to occupy and then must occupy", it says "the Borrower intends to occupy the subject Property upon discharge from military service."

When I get some rentals on the same property then I will hire a towel/linen service which washes everything at the lodging standard temperature.

Also see if there are eviction services in your area that can handle this for you.

@Ken NeusaengerYour strategy has several issues with respect to IRS guidelines.In exchange for tax-sheltered status in an IRA, the IRS rules prohibit any direct or indirect benefit, in either direction, between you and the IRA.Simply from the starting point of you buying a parcel personally and having the IRA buy the rest, you have introduced risk.Any services associated with the property must be performed by an unrelated 3rd party. 

I wasted money on this "service" for years before officially changing it to myself.

I am an investor, developer, commercial broker.I do not offer tenant placement doing leases like tenant rep brokers, developer fee services, or property management.

If theloan fails to close this fee will be forfeited.Closing Fee ScheduleLender Points$250 Legal Review Fee$75 Appraisal Review Fee$30 Servicing Setup Fee$30 Draw Company Admin Account Setup Fee$1,250 Attorney Closing Fee **Draw Fee is $200 per draw and a $30 wire fee for each draw wire** 

The reason I don't like to look at the past is that what drove prices to those highs previously won't necessarily be the same dynamics that will drive them forward in the future.I can't say for sure, but I suspect the next time the market slows as a whole (or corrects), we may see some surprises as far as which city's prices decline, which ones hold up, and which ones recover the fastest.
