Hi Everyone!

I'm Micheal Waldrup. Active-Duty military, currently with 10 years of service in Nuclear Power. I'm due to get out in January of 2015 and plan to transition to a career doing freelance programming (which I already do).

My goals in real estate are to roll into buy/hold/rent and rehabs. I have little / no experience in real estate other than being a homeowner myself and having family who are agents.

While I enjoy the programming work I currently do, I find myself more and more into my business and real estate interests. I fully intend to close my first "deal", whatever it may be, before I get out of the military next January.

I plan on being around for a long time, and would love to start my real estate endeavors here in Eastern VA, especially VA Beach and surroundings. Seems like a complex market though with all of the military money around here.

I'd love to meet anyone from the area . I'm also very interested in hearing about local groups that meet or people who are just willing to share knowledge ( free lunch in it for you most likely :) ).

Can't wait to start interacting with everyone! I'll be around, reading -- more like devouring all of this information. See you around.
