Most people buying investment properties frequently establish long term relationships with a lender to save them from having to resubmit the exact same paperwork over and over again, and to keep things smooth, etc.If you're trying to close while physically overseas, I'd also start looking into settlement service providers, sometimes called a "title company" and sometimes called a "settlement lawyer" depending on the state the real estate is in.

Make sure your provider is excellent at providing service to not only you as the investor, but also to your residents.Good luck!!

I was told by the mortgage lender that I didn't need a regular home inspections because the HUD inspector does the same thing and that's why I am paying $700 for the inspection. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

If I notice the same service, I may hold tight (1 more month) before canceling the subscription. 

Also build up relationship with people that offer services complementary to yours.

@Brian ReynoldsWhile you likely will not be able to transfer your TSP assets while you are still active duty, this restriction should disappear once you separate from service.

I own a property next door and do regular termite/roach extermination because of the flow from this building. 

You’d have to be a real lowlife piece of feces to do that to a service member called to duty .
