Hello all!

New Member here, well I've had my account for a while, but the Podcasts finally convinced me to do my introduction.

Currently I am Active Duty in the Air Force, looking to start my investing fairly soon (maybe a year or so).  I am looking at possibly doing my first flip to gain a bit of money starting out.  I have a little saved up to begin with.  My wife is totally on board which is always helpful!

My ultimate goal is to get into several buy and holds.  I plan on doing it part-time while in the Military.  One of the podcasts that I just listened to, Show 17, that inspired me to to go for cash flow right away (although it would be great).  I really like what he said about having the most options when it's time to retire!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Casey

Hey Casey. Welcome to BP! I'm an Air Force guy myself and have started investing out in Oklahoma City. I actually just wrote a blog about how the VA loan can be used for REI, so hopefully it can help you get on your way.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Best of Luck!
