MILITARY TO REI PLAN
First, thanks Joshua Dorkin for this forum... I am addicted! I've been brainstorm for a few months on how I should get started. I'm currently in the military and am going to request to get out as I am tired of saying bye to my family for 6 months at a time. So, I'll have about 9 - 12 months before I separate. In that 9-12 months, I'd like to get started so that when the time comes, I feel comfortable. I've been reading a lot, listening to pod-casts, and just joined a local REIA. I was thinking of starting my s-corp (out of NV to do business in CA and eventually NV) and then get my feet wet by bird dogging (a few guys at the REIA told me their criteria). As I learn more and feel comfortable, I'd like to get into flipping (wholesaleing and fix & flip). Eventually, I plan on getting my RE license. My wife is an agent, so I am not going to rush into that just yet. I just wanted to see if I'm going down the right path at this stage. I really do appreciate any guidance and mentorship.
