Just introducing myself
Hello, Enrique here, about to retire from the Marines after 24 years and semi new to real estate investing. Currently have a rental property in NC and own a primary home in California. Looking for all of my options to expand my rental properties. Not the best credit but working on bringing that up. I will have about 30k accessible to invest upon retiring in October 2023 and I’m also interested in accessing the equity either in my rental or primary houses. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to connecting with everyone.

Quote from @Trevor Aydelott:
Hello Enrique, welcome to retirement. And becoming a Veteran.
I'm a Veteran from the Army. I'm a real estate investor in California, in the High Desert. If you ever need to talk, you can always contact me.
I am in the high desert (AV, Hesperia, Victorville area as well) and have started a meet up. If either or you would like an invite hit me up!
