Hey from DC!

[James B.]

Hey guys,

My wife and I purchased our first home this year in the Washington, DC area. I'm in the military, so we have dreams of renting this place out when I get transferred, buying a new one, and so on.

In my perfect fantasy world, this method could yield me 3-4 nice single family homes by my mid 30s (in 10 yrs), a good passive income stream by my mid 40s (20 yrs), and a solid retirement foundation for 55+.

I have a ton of research to do and this site looks awesome. I'm humbled by many of the stories I've read on this forum so far and hope to learn as much as possible from all of the driven and enterprising people on BP.

James

Thanks a lot, @Nate & Sharon Shaw . Glad to hear that you were able to do well with REI while in the military! Gives the rest of us some hope.

@Brandon Turner - thanks man. I've already listened to the "Beginner" podcast - good stuff!
