Hello everyone! I'm based near San Antonio, Texas.  I'm a veteran (who isn't here).  I've developed a strong interest in real estate and am eager to learn more about how I can leverage this field to potentially shorten my path to retirement. Having moved to Texas from Tennessee, I'm actively exploring the local market and excited to connect with this community to gain insights and knowledge from experienced professionals.

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

I'm active duty Air Force with four properties. Three are with my VA loan. That's a great way to get started in real estate investing.

I wish you all the best.

How do you manage your properties?  Are there any management companies you would recommended or general maintenance?

Hi there!

Welcome to the community, and thank you for your service! It's awesome that you're diving into real estate with a focus on using it to accelerate your path to retirement. Texas, and especially the San Antonio area, has some great opportunities for real estate investment, whether you're looking at single-family rentals, multifamily, or even new construction.

I'm primarily focused on the Indianapolis market, working with investors on new build duplexes that offer solid returns and long-term potential. If you’re ever curious about how markets outside of Texas compare or just want to bounce ideas around, I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned.

Looking forward to connecting and learning more about your journey!
