Any USMC, or any former military vets on here? Looking to build a team

[Scott Ball]

Hi everyone, 

I am a US citizen, former USMC, who has lived in Australia for the past 20 years. I've done alright as a property investor over here and even ran my own real estate agency & property management company. My folks are getting older in the US and long story short I am selling everything here and will be starting fresh to move back to the USA. I have been reading a lot about the different things like notes, private lending, etc that isn't common here as all I have done is buy & hold and a bit of lease options, plus running the agency. Anyway, I was wondering if there are any former Marines or any military vets on here that I can connect with to shorten my learning curve so I can fast track things. Doesn't necessarily need to be former military, but I just want to find a team I can trust 100%. 

Thanks, Scott

 Hey Scott, also former USMC here (my favorite crayon flavor is magenta). 

I'm happy to get you up to speed on loan programs offered in the US if you are going to become an agent and open your own firm. Of course, that will be covered in the pre-licensure education you would need to complete, but if you have further questions for each loan program, I'm happy to talk. 

Also, @Doug Spence (active duty Navy) and I are part of a military RE investing group that has provided us with tremendous value. Feel free to connect with him as well.

Lastly, and I think we all have this on our minds, did you absorb the accent?
