License Home Inspector / future real estate investor
Hello everybody! I am a licensed Home Inspector for the state of AZ and I’m looking forward to learning about real estate investing opportunities not only in AZ but all over the United States. I truly enjoy inspecting and seeing new designs first hand. I’m a US Army Veteran and I’m excited to grow my business and my investment portfolio. Reach out if you are in need of a Home inspector or if you have any questions!

@Trey Campagna without knowing much about your situation I'd say the first thing to do is to use a VA loan to buy a primary residence with as little money down as possible and the lowest interest rate available. Don't buy too expensive of a home and you will be able to do it again next year and turn your first into a rental. I am helping a client who is also a Veteran to do this exact thing right now; at first he wasn't sure he wanted to move twice to make it happen, but when he realized he was going to basically get a cash flowing rental property for free(no money down) he realized it was an easy decision. This is a strategy I've done myself with 5% down payment conventional loans. Let me know if you want to chat, I'd be happy to help you run the numbers.
