New guy from Pierce County, Washington

[David Montore]

Hi all! My name is Dave Montore and I’m starting on my real estate journey after it’s been banging around in my head for years. My 23 years in the Army are coming to a close next spring and I’m looking forward to making the transition. Exactly where I’ll go and what I’ll do is up in the air but real estate will be involved somehow, that much I’ve decided. Whether I try my hand a buy-and-hold (closest match to my personality/goals) or get my license and use the education I get as an agent to guide my investing, I see real estate as a way to satisfy my needs for autonomy and creative problem solving and to give my family the lives they deserve after so much sacrifice. I can be almost obsessive when I’m in my information gathering phase so it looks like I’ve found the right place to start my journey here on BP. Great vibes here. Anyway, I look forward to learning and want to thank everyone in advance for all of the questions you’ll probably answer for me. Hopefully I’ll someday be in a position to give back. Thanks all. Dave
