There is no need to have an LLC especially since you have no assets I agreed with @Chris an insurance umbrella policy should suffice until you start growing your property portfolio.

I sincerely believe planting a bush or tree...if it were that bad you’d have already done it...will suffice to make your patio acceptable to tenants.

Then I'll need to get 4-5 applications before one checks all the boxes.The criteria you've outlined and the places you've posted should suffice.  

So all you will need really upfront is to let your lender know your rank and where you’ll be PCS too.If you have your PCS orders already that makes it even easier but the above should suffice for preapproval purposes. 

If you know that you want the property back try to give them enough notice that way they have suffice time.  

No need to get all upset about it, a simple "I prefer not to share" would suffice. 

Something as simple as a text message that says, "I'm out, keys are on the counter" would suffice as written evidence of vacating.Doesn't matter.

What they want to see is that there is a reasonable expectation that you are going to live in the home for at least a year so things like (closer to family, or closer to family, or bigger home, or more space) will suffice and you won't have to change over your DL. 

A simple texting back and forth would suffice.....

It's a bummer there are no opportunities for group meet-ups right now, as I feel like I could really use some face-to-face time with more seasoned investors, but forums will have to suffice for now.
