Overseas Military Officer / Newbie (UK / Iowa / Washington DC)

[Tyler Schochenmaier]

Hey everyone, my name is Tyler and I am a 31 year old active duty officer in the United States Air Force.  I'm single with no children/dogs and have only ever rented.   I'm now through my 12th podcast and have purchased Rich Dad Poor Dad and Long-Distance Real Estate Investing (Greene's book).  I currently live in the UK and am expecting to move to the Washington DC area in the middle/end of 2019.  I am looking to purchase my first ever home and hoping to live/flip or possibly buy a multi-family and house hack to figure this real estate game out.

Short-term goals are to build a reciprocal process to buy/flip and/or BRRRR 10 properties by the end of 2020. I'm focusing mostly on the Des Moines, Iowa, metro but with my new assignment, I can see myself trying to enter into the DC metro which I'm confident will be very difficult.

I need to spend some more time researching and building a network of like minded/motivated individuals.

Also, I'm a HUGE fanatic of football (proper, so soccer for everyone else) and have enjoyed my time here in England going to over 75 matches in the last year alone. Long term goal is to have enough passive income to purchase a flat in the Manchester City Center so I can go watch Man City whenever I want.

I'm also big into coaching football and maintain several professional certifications. It's my main hobby, however, I can see this taking priority very quickly.  Just need to execute the first deal. :)

All the best and good hunting!

@Ryan Rominger thank you for the note. I'll definitely keep it in mind. Intimidating as I move around every 2 years but also an opportunity I think! Mostly about building the right team... really looking forward to digging in!
