Welcome! We are old timers in the military, and love the Groton area. We were mil to mil and I served 10 years, and turned to real estate. It has been a great way to augment that retirement. In simple terms, we were aiming for 5 houses, paid off. I thought it would cover the salary we'd lose at 20 years. Now hubby has been in 23 years and we've done a lot of deals. Start off with your own home. You can go up to 4 units with a VA loan. We actually saved our VAs (we get two, one for each of us), until we ran out of investing money last year. Listen to those podcasts~! They are terrific. And see about attending a meet-up or a real estate investment group so you can meet others who are doing what you want to do. All the best~
