Soon to be Investor and RE Agent From Las Vegas!
Hello there everyone!
First off, let me say thank you for being a large part of my learning! I have learned a ton in the last couple of months from just reading a lot of the forums, a lot of the blogs, and I absolutely love the podcast!
I currently am in the process of getting out of the military and getting my RE license here in Nevada, I am planning on staying here in Las Vegas because I enjoy the weather and I really think that I can do well out here in Las Vegas as an agent. I do own a home that's within a 20 minute drive of the Air Force Base and I am trying to buy a house that's a little further west in the valley (closer to my next job location) and my plan is to rent this home out once I can get the second home. I bought this house with a VA loan and I'm trying to get my next house with the "2nd half" of the VA loan that way I don't have to put any money down. The issue I'm running into is that since I am changing jobs here fairly soon and since it is a commission based job no lenders that I've spoken with, except for one, will be able to work with me. The one that might be able to work with me I just learned about tonight and I'm not 100% sure whether they'll be able to help me quite yet, I'll know more probably next week.
I've had my BiggerPockets account for a few weeks now but I've been doing a lot of reading on the forums and blogs for a few months along with reading a lot of Mark Ferguson's blog, his blog was actually how I found BP! So far my plan is to own 10 homes (including my primary residence) in the next 5 years and by that time I should be able to "retire" but more than likely I would be too bored to just sit at home every day so I'll probably end up continuing to sell Real Estate and help people buy their homes and continue to manage my own properties.
This is probably one of the longer first post/introduction posts that I've seen so thank you if you've read this far and I am excited to make my job switch and attack my RE goals!
