Networking with real estate investors
Hey everyone - I’m in Navy flight school over in Corpus Christi right now but was hoping to get in touch with some current real estate investors in the south Texas area to pick your brains! Let me know if any of yall are available! Thanks!

@Michael Coritz I'm SW with the Air Force and my partner is an ex UH-60 driver, collectively we have over 20 years of service and both retired early through the power of real estate. we don't have connections in south Texas but I want to offer you encouragement.
I hope I'm not overstepping: Use your VA loan. Every 2 years without fail. Buy multifamilys, Refi, Repeat. Secure your retirement with one of, if not the most powerful financial tool known to man so you don't have to be tied to Uncle Sam for your retirement. Serve hard and Proud but enjoy the tax advantages and financial freedom your VA loan will grant you.
and look me up if you're a dropping asset or back seater, maybe I'll hear you on the mic.
