Socal Veteran transitioning from the military to real estate.
Hello BP,
I am honored to be part of this group where I can skip out thousands of google searches and research tons of information on here from many others that have the same ideas. During my time in the military I learned never to sell a home. When I was ordered to relocate to other states for my duty I decided to rent my current house and buy another one in my new location. I have done this for 5 years now and have a total of 3 single family rentals. After serving 6 years in the Marine Corps and have transitioned out of the military I would like to focus more of my time in real estate investing. Currently I am planning on selling a second home and moving onto multifamily residences in the Phoenix, Az area or Southern California. Hopefully I can chat with other investors and hopefully find some mentoring groups

@Brandon Patrick I cohost a monthly meetup with my go to real estate agent @Donald E Appleberry in San Diego. He is a former Recon Marine, and I am still active duty. We are military real estate investors ourselves, and happy to help in any way!
