Leaving the USMC to be a side hustle investor near Houston, Tx

[Michael Schmeling]

Hello everyone on Bigger Pockets!

I'm originally from Austin, Tx and have spent the last nearly 10 years in the Marine Corps as a C-130 pilot and am about to make the jump out of active duty service and into civilian aviation. I am excited to start slowly building a real estate enterprise on the side. 

I'm moving south of Houston to Clute, Tx and have a single family home I lived in while stationed in Cherry Point, NC that I'm currently renting out. So far I'm excited to learn about tax sales and building passive income with some multifamily properties. Since it's a side hustle I plan on building slow and steady without trying to leverage myself into oblivion. I'm grateful for all the info that's readily available here for free - I'm glad I stopped and joined an office conversation about investing and learned about this website!
