Army Introduction
Hello everyone!
I've been lurking around for a good while and finally decided to write up an introduction and make an attempt to be more involved.
I'm in the Army and probably will be for a good while, so that's a big factor in my investing plans. I bought a couple of SFH 5 or 6 years ago. I was pretty proud of it at the time, especially sinced I managed to do it with just about no money behind me. Looking back, it wasn't nearly as clever as I thought it was and has cost me money rather than made it. I do have some ok equity though and I learned a great deal from it, so it wasn't the worst thing ever.
I backed off from investing for the last few years as work kept me busy, but I've got some money behind me now and I like to think I'm a little older and wiser and I'm getting ready to give it a second shot. I am looking at multifamily properties this time and am currently in the process of finding out what I can pull off.
I have done a pretty poor job of doing things the right way so far, so I'm also trying to straighten that out and get a good team of professional built up to support me. So that's pretty much where I'm at. Hopefully I can network, get to know some like minded people, and maybe one day be able to be of some assistance to someone.
Happy New Year,
Joe
