It’s vital.

This is true for not only property management but property sales as well.The CA department of real estate holds the broker of record responsible for the actions of licensed and unlicensed employees working under their license, via broker's 'duty to supervise'. 

Is there a vital piece of the cog I am missing here?

-Where I think the market is headed is foundational to my strategies and is a vital part of interpreting any property.

@Chris Watson a fellow active duty Air Force brother seems like he is killing it in the Smokies with some super nice large cabins!

The concepts or ideas we have about money is vital and learning about how money work and how to manage it will be an important part of your Real Estate journey.

As a reservist in the Air Force you don't get VA benefits unless one of these three conditions are met. (1) You have allotted 6 years in the service as a reservist (2) you have been on active orders for 90+ days consecutively (3) {Correct me if mistaken} Accumulate 2 years of active duty time. those are my 3 options and I'm opting for the #2 option 90+ consecutive days of active duty time.

Your only duty is to sign, date, be notarized and abide by the contract. 

I need to get into contact with a Reserve recruiter so I can decide which one to do once I separate from active duty.

I have framed it in my head as a slightly more expensive than usual Wholesaler.Here in Australia we also have stamp duty the buyer pays which is typically 3-4% of the sale price.Anyhoo guys, keen to hear your thoughts!
