Military and RRE-CRE

[Robel Nessro]

So I've been thinking of joining the Air Force for 4 years, during those 4 years I would buy 3-4 unit properties which later after the 4 years I can get into Commericial real estate by doing a 1031 exchange or getting loans from private investors so that I can buy bigger multi-family properties. Would that be a good idea or not?

Great plan.  Thanks for the thought of service to the country.

Getting a well performing quad would be great to season for 4 years.  If you buy in the right market you will be able to get some equity out of it and make your next deal.  

Look for a market that is growing in population and jobs so that you can get in the way of obvious appreciation.  That way you can take advantage of the tenants paying down your mortgage and the appreciation of the property .

Best of Luck.
