This is a common situation. One approach - if she plans to rent it out, she puts her stuff into storage and gets a reputable property management company to collect rent, handle tenant issues, repairs and maintenance. Typically, a deployed military member will not have the time or ability to deal with handling a plumbing issue or tenant problems remotely. Even if she doesn’t plan to rent out, a property management company can take care of repairs and maintenance, make recommendations on how to secure the house, set up absentee utilities, etc. If she banks with a military-friendly bank, she’ll be able to set up recurring e-bill pays for water, electricity, property insurance, etc. Military folks have been dealing with this issue for a long, long time, so she will find advice from her uniformed family.
