New Member In Stafford, VA

[Corey Skelton]

My name is Corey Skelton, residing in Stafford, VA. I am currently transitioning from the United States Marine Corps after 13 years and am looking to take my career in a different direction. My wife is still active duty and nearing retirement, and is much more risk averse than I am, so that is one hurdle I am struggling with (any advice would be appreciated).

I've read the "Ultimate Beginner's Guide" and found a wealth of knowledge, as well as Getting Started at BP. I recently discovered there are organizations that will pay for veterans to get their real estate license, which I keep hearing on the podcast has certain advantages, so it is one thing I am considering.

I am still doing as much research as I can and haven't completed any deals yet. In order to mitigate risk, I am considering small multi-family houses (duplex, triplex, fourplex). Again, any advice would be appreciated.
