New Member Introduction
Hello everyone! I am a newbie in every since of the word but here to make some new connections and to learn as much as I can about investing in real estate. I have to admit there is so much to cover and it is a little overwhelming, however, from what I have read this seems to be a very supportive community. I am 26, and have been in the military for 7 years now. I'm currently on a deployment and really want to hit the ground running when I go home with my VA Home Loan in purchasing a multi family property. I was referred to this website from a friend I met here and I have truly been enjoying learning through all of the free material, articles, and blog posts. I currently have a single family house that I bought when I was 22 with my first time home buyers loan. To be frank when I purchased this property I really had no idea what I was doing and have gone through a lot of growing pains as a result. I'm looking to sell that property and really do this the right way the second time around. Thanks for taking the time to read my very first post. I look forward to connecting with new people and continuing to learn as much as I can.

Good evening Julissa,
I am a huge advocate for military real estate investing, and would be happy to help in any way I can. Here are two articles I wrote for BiggerPockets about the VA-loan!
