Investing as an Active Duty Soldier
Still analyzing and looking to get in my first deal. The thought of being a long-distance landlord used to worry me; now, not having real estate before I'm 40 worries me more. Looking for advice from all parties, especially investors who were/are in my shoes and can help me to navigate the initial surge into real estate while balancing another profession simultaneously.
