Hello BP!

My name is Kamren and I am very excited to be a member.  I recently left active duty Army to join the reserves and go to school back in Michigan.  I am at the very beginning of my education in all of this and it excites me a lot.  BP is a great source of information,  that being said I would love to connect with a local group near Traverse City MI to speak with some professionals.  So if anyone has a group or knows about one let me know!

Hey,

Welcome to BP and thanks for your service. I highly recommend you utilize your VA loan to use high leverage, get a multi family as a owner occupied and start building your foundation this way. You can start to build skills as a landlord/property manager and build equity via your tenants money. This is the route I chose after getting out of the USMC and I am very happy with the position it put me in. Let me know if you have any questions and cheers to your future.

Respectfully,
Matt
