Daniel New Member Introduction

Hello everyone,

My name is Daniel. I am currently 36 years old and planning to start my real estate investing journey this year. I am a little late to the game and have been told several times throughout my adult life to invest in real estate, but I ignored the advice. But I figured better late than never. I am currently in the Army and will retire in about 12 years. By the time I retire, I want to have enough rental properties to have financial independence to enjoy my hobbies and enjoy spending time with my family and watch my children grow up. I am still in the learning phase, but I am actively researching some local markets to hopefully find something this year. I plan on getting a property every year until I retire if I can find a good deal that cash flows positively.

@Daniel Vo, sent you a message but I am proof that you can start in your late 30's and figure this all out while still serving and setting yourself up to grow even more when you retire from the military. I was a Navy submariner for 21 years and really focused the last 6 years on growing our portfolio. It definitely takes discipline, a growth mindset, and educating yourself but you can certainly do it!
