Hello Everyone! I am beyond excited to have stumbled upon BiggerPockets and its community. Quick background, I am active duty military assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). I purchased a home for my family and I back in 2012 but recently been assigned to become a recruiter. So naturally that means I will be moving within the next 6-9 months and was left with the big decision "SELL my home or RENT it out". So I went to the Internet to explore options/scenarios and Google graciously pushed me into the BP world and for the past few weeks I have been jumping around from podcast to podcast and read several different forum/sub-forum posts to learn as much as I can. I was astounded to find such a generous community with information readily available to share. At the moment, I don't know what I plan to do with my home since the market seems to be doing great and my home (since 2012) has appreciated a bit. I guess I'm just here to learn and learn some more and then make an informed decision within the next few months. Either way it seems I will end up becoming a landlord or sell and possibly have a small amount to put towards a downpayment on a multi family property. I'm excited and nervous at the same time yet very thankful to have found BiggerPockets and it's awesome community! Thanks for reading! See you around the forum!
