Newbie from Washington DC

[Whiticar Darvill]

Good Day everyone, I am Whiticar; I am retiring from active duty military (Air Force) and looking to start buying and holding properties in the DC area. I have been looking around on Bigger pockets for a month or so and do not see a ton of activity in my area (I might not be looking in the right areas of the site). The market is active here so someone has to be making money and finding deals. I don't have much experience, but I do plan on getting my realtors license late May and building my network. That said, I am not looking at making being a realtor my full time occupation. I would like to invest on the side while I leverage my military experience as a way to fund my initial investment opportunities.

My long term goal is to build up passive income to allow for more flexibility in my schedule. I like the area and feel that given the right deals, the DC market is a fantastic place to invest. In reality unless we move the federal government, there will always be people looking for places to rent/buy.
