Hello, I've been lurking BP off and on for a couple years and decided to jump in. I've wanted to get in real estate since the early 80s but have gotten no further than reading and learning. I'm a retired Navy Corpsman and now teach high school. The decent money and plenty of off time seems to be the right combination for me to start.

My son, son in law, and I are considering a partnership of some sort. My son is deployed but will bring back some savings. My daughter's husband makes great money and has a cousin who is a real estate agent. She is showing us a distressed property tomorrow. I am happy to have found this site as the level of expertise and amount of information is beyond impressive.
