Real Estate Options in a Bad Area

[Zack Rosa]

Hi everyone, I am new here and new to real estate investing. I have read a lot of books about real estate and business but I'm getting to the point where I really want to start!

I am in the Army and stationed in Fort Polk, La. And if you do not know anything about this area, it might be the worst area to be in. I really want to start investing and buying properties but I really think this area would be a terrible place to start, not to mention i never want to come back here when I finally PCS somewhere else. 

So my question is...What are some options I have to get started on this journey? To me I feel I would love either Flipping Houses or the BRRRR method. I am just looking for some ideas that I can research more about. Or is my best option just to continue educating myself until I move to

Anything is much appreciated. Just tired of doing nothing and ready to start!!!

Thanks

Zack
