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

Jonathan Jaime Velarde I'm 22, about to close on my first house! Should be able to get another one by the end of summer! I think that's pretty good for my age. Welcome aboard !
