Current Active Duty Military from Southern California
Hello everyone,
I am currently in the Air Force, but am separating at the end of August and will be returning back home to Southern California. I am extremely interested in investing in real estate. I am currently trying to soak in as much information as I can, certainly before diving in. I am reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and just started listening to BiggerPockets podcasts, lots of great info. I am excited to join BiggerPockets and hope to learn from successful investors!
