Advice on starting my real estate career.
Hello everyone, I'd like to start investing in real estate and was hoping to get some guidance on what my focus should be while starting out. I currently reside on Guam and have the ability to get a VA loan. I also have excellent credit and about 40k in savings. my long term goal is to have multiple rental properties. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
