Young, motivated, veteran - looking to start

[Andrew Cabrera]

Hello everyone!

I am a young, motivated Marine Corps Veteran looking to get started in real estate. I currently work a 9-5 stable job; however, I have the mindset to pursue this field full time. I am at a point in my young life where I am dissatisfied with the system and being comfortable with a JOB (I.e. Just Over Broke). This is my first post in this discussion thread and I am looking to meet like-minded individuals and/or individuals who have have success in this line of work who are willing to share their experiences, knowledge, and advice.

Thank you,

Drew

Hi Andrew, I am also a veteran. I used my VA loan to buy my first starter property 0 down. I lived in it for 3 years refinanced into a conventional loan and made it into a rental. Bought a nicer home in a nicer neighborhood using a VA loan again for 0 down. I lived there for 7 years and refinanced into a conventional loan and made it into a rental. I am now in my third home using a 0 down VA loan. This one is really nice and is probably the keeper. I also used my cash flow from my two prior homes to buy a triplex. Your 0 down VA loans are very powerful for buying real estate.
