Analyzing my first deal!

[Jacob Shuey]

Hello everyone,

    I just created my Pro membership here at BP after years of stalking the page, listening to the podcasts and "waiting for the right time".  I am here in the forums to connect with other investors, especially in areas in which I would like to invest.  Just a little about me, I am retired from the United States Marine Corps and have owned several homes in the past.  One of which I held for over a decade and rented, one that I flipped after living in for three years.  I currently live in Hagerstown MD and retired from Tupelo MS.  Both of these areas in which I know well and am looking to invest due to having my own small team with realtors and handymen that can assist me.  I know there is much more than that needed, so here I am!

  I am currently looking to get my first long term rental under my belt and have analyzed several properties in both cities.  I wont be trying to re-invent the wheel.  Simply purchase solid rentals, while dipping my toes into the flipping market to pay down the rentals faster with some of the proceeds.  From here I will just be connecting and taking a new way forward.  

  Any advice from here is always welcome and I look forward to working with everyone!
