Hello everyone, I am Kyle and recently left the military to pursue full time real estate investing with my business partner, Darren, who I attended West Point with. We now live in the Hampton Roads area; more specifically in the ocean view area of Norfolk, VA. While serving in the military Darren and I were able to get our feet wet and acquire a few rental properties in Fayetteville, NC. We are focused on long term efforts through buy and hold rentals. So far, we've bought one single family house in cash and a duplex through a rehab financing loan (what a mess that was!) both in Norfolk and set up our LLC. I've really enjoyed listening to the podcasts and reading the forums for information on creative financing techniques which will become much more needed in the near future. As for now, we have our hands full putting some sweat equity into the duplex and continue to look for additional properties to buy, whether it's a buy and hold in Norfolk or a flip in Virginia Beach for a cash injection. Lastly, we want to kickstart our marketing campaign. Thank you all for the great information I've already gathered from the community and will continue to receive!

Welcome!

This is a great site as it is awesome place to network. I have found that like any place once you establish a name and have been know that it becomes alot easier to network. So definitely put your company and website information in your signature. 

Another great place is to look around the blogs, forums and listen to the podcasts. If you see a post you enjoy check out the persons signature. Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website. So definitely check that out as it is an amazing additional resource. For example, my blog is about while working full time, buy and hold investing, 0% Down Rentals, Personal Properties turned rentals, Long distancing investing, self-managing 3,000+ miles away. Definitely list your blog in your signature. Its a great additional networking source. I have met many amazing people!

Look forward to seeing you around!
