New Investor Stationed Overseas (Japan)

[Account Closed]

Good evening BP!

My name is Matt and before anything else, I’m stoked to finally post this bio and share my intentions with you all.

I’m enlisted in the US Air Force. I’m an E-5 married to another enlisted military member and we are currently stationed overseas at Misawa Air Base, Japan. I work on F-16’s and I am actively pursuing a 20+ year career with the Air Force.

I’m young-ish (26) and extremely motivated to get started in real estate investing.

Throughout the last year or so, I’ve been doing a lot of research, (books, podcasts, YouTube) along with meeting face to face with several enlisted members with real estate experience, all in the name of procuring as much knowledge as possible before diving in head first to our first property.

There are several styles of investing that stood out above the rest, those include house hacking, BRRRR, buy and hold, and most appealing, multi family housing.

I would love to take advantage of my earlier years in the military and start out as soon as possible.

I’d be very interested in learning more from investors who have experience investing in military towns, having military tenants, investing from overseas locations, and obviously, other enlisted (or officers) military members.

Currently, I do not have a particular market I want to pursue. I know that is a downfall and I’m actively researching different markets to find one that is desirable to us.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I look forward to hearing from you and attending countless BP meetups in the future!

Thank you,

Matt Teegarden
