Looking for Advice on Getting Started

I'm currently in the Navy and wanting to get started with real estate investing. I've been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast and reading the various books published by Bigger Pockets. I have $40k plus saved up currently. I'll be out of the Navy in 2.5 years when I will have approximately $150k saved up. I would like to implement the BRRRR strategy. I currently live in the Charleston area.

My question to everyone here is...Would you look to get started now or would you wait the 2.5 years?

@Todd Powell

Todd thanks for the advice. I appreciate the feedback. I’m all for house hacking, however, I’m married and my wife does not want to pursue that option. Thank you once again though.
