New and Interested in Investing

[Andy Schulz]

My experience thus far has been that of learning.  Reading a lot, BP podcasts and have attended a few free seminars.  I have plans to make a transition out of the military and moving to another area within the next year.  So I'm really anticipating looking at and learning the market at my next location.  Though I have taken opportunity to learn a lot about DC while I've been here.  Thanks for having me!

Welcome to the forum @Andy Schulz! There's so much to be learned here. The short time I've spent in the Bigger Pockets forum has only led to great information and real life connections. Definitely take notes on the content in the "Learn" tab.

Everyone has an advantage in real estate. With just the little information you've provided, definitely look into financing with a VA loan. Additionally if it fits your business model, you can cater your rentals/flips towards military. There's some great advantages renting to military or selling to military!

Let me know if I can help you in any way. I've been working on some criteria to evaluate out of state markets, and would be happy to share the numbers on wherever you think you'll move.

Warmly,

Trenton

Post Send: Try and attend a real estate investor club in your area. I went to my first last night and I was blown away. Getting in the same room once a month with land developers, money lenders, contractors, and real estate agents is a great catalyst for your education and investment portfolio to grow!
