New member- Norfolk Va

[Walter Boyd]

New member from Norfolk, Virginia area. My name is Walter and I am active duty military stationed out of Norfolk. I have a few years left on active service where I will be trying to balance furthering my real estate knowledge as well as setting myself up for exfil out of the Navy. 

I am brand new to the real estate industry. As a matter of fact im scheduling my PSI two weeks from now, but I hear often that real estate is a great field with many opportunities. My goals are simply to build myself up by being well educated in my realm of real estate and set myself up for a business plan if all goes accordingly. I'm not into limiting myself but I would see myself fitting into either a Rental or Buy and Hold type of investing. 

I believe that's more than enough, but I do welcome and encourage questions. Anything that can help build and prepare me for the road ahead couldn't hurt and I thank you for it. I look forward to networking and getting to know everybody along the way.

@Walter Boyd welcome to the site! I'm an active duty member as well and I'm glad to see the growing popularity of real estate investing among military members. Like @Elizabeth Colegrove, I have purchased homes at each of my duty locations; it really is a good strategy. However, there are obstacles to overcome as you learn the ropes so don't hesitate to drop me a line if you have any questions.
