Former Marine finally home. Let's connect

[Account Closed]

Hey BP, I am a 26 year old former Marine and free at last...well, sorta. I have worked in real estate in the past on the labor side of flipping houses and have been attending school using my GI Bill for real estate and business for the last few years. I absolutely loved being an active duty Marine however, I knew there was more out there than 19K per year. After being in the Sangin Valley in Afghanistan in 2010, my desire to provide and take care of my loved ones is stronger than ever. I intend to supplement that by utilizing every form of real estate I can possibly educate myself on. I grew up just out side of Detroit and have finally come home where I plan to stay and help rebuild. 

My biggest effort being at the beginning stages of investing is networking and educating myself. Just simply surrounding ourselves with likeminded people is what sets us apart from everyone else. I intend to get ahead, and stay there. Please, don't hesitate to connect with me. I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone on BP and meeting new people that share common goals.
