Starting Out While Being in the Military
Hi, my name is Cody and I'm currently wanting to get started in real estate investment. My fiancé and myself both bought our first home here in Clovis, NM and we're hoping to use it as a rental in the following years when we move again. I've been trying to gain as much information as I can on how to start with possibly buying another rental or two while I'm stationed here. My big question for anyone out there is how risky is real estate investing in regards to a security clearance. I've read up on how to start with little to no money down, but a lot of those options seem riskier. I know finance and legal issues can possibly affect a security clearance and so I want to start off easy so as to not hurt my current career. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
