Greetings!

I thought this would be an interesting discussion to start!

Looking for some motivational stories as well as pointers on how I should start my RE investing career. I'm 22, leaving the Marine Corps in a year, and heading back to SoCal to attend school and save up to by my first property and hopefully "house hack" it. 

I will have roughly $20K cash and $20K in my Roth IRA (aggressive mutual fund). I will not have any debt and college will be paid for thanks to the amazing military benefits!

Looking forward to your stories!

JV
