Welcome Lindy,Don't rule out Durham, some great MFH opportunities there too.You mention VA vs FHA, are you a veteran or active duty at present ?

I've read a few posts, blogs, books, and listened to a few podcasts here on biggerpockets along with a few books on investing.My plan as of now is to buy a piece of property every station I get assigned to and use it as rental property when I leave that said duty station.

Separation of duties is the best way to reduce the chance of fraud (i.e., do not let the same person handle all of the money coming in AND all of the money going out).On the other hand, if you use professional management, please make sure they are reputable (e.g., licensed agents, members of NAR, members of NARPM, active on BiggerPockets, etc.).Whether you self manage or have your properties professionally managed, this unfortunate event is a great reminder to surround yourself with the best team possible.  

I am active duty military in Salt Lake City for 2 more years but my place of residence is Lindenhurst, Illinois (40 mins from Chicago).

Does a landlord have a duty to disclose to tenant if landlord installed one of those listed toxic laminate flooring from lumber liquidators in 2014?

And then have plenty of family duties.

Have ever heard of concentrated orange cleaner deodorizer or heavy duty concentrated citrus degreaser cleaner?

They are acting as an agent without the laws, ethics requirements, education, and insurance that are vital IMO.

Since my husband is active duty military we do a lot of out of state landlording. 

If he doesn't have the money and is thinking he can make it on future unemployment benefits, he needs a reality check.Since the three roommates are jointly and severally liable, it is your duty to inform all of the tenants.
