Buying Real Estate as an Active Duty Service Member

So I've been in the service for about 2 years now and I've been thinking about buying some property to rent out in the area and also rent out to fellow service members that are trying to get out of Government living quarters. I just want to know how can get started with my first property? I want to bite the bullet, but I'm not sure how to go about it because I've never bought a home before. Do Active Duty/Veterans get any perks in terms of taking out mortgages? Should I even worry about mortgages?

@David Pere hosts a great podcast, From Military to Millionaire. Another great show for you to check out is Active Duty Passive Income.

I don't have that background myself so I can't provide guidance, just point you in the direction of resources. However, I can tell you that it is 100% doable if you put in the work!
