  Welcome to BP.   Do you have any other properties besides GA and olympia.  I am doing the same path, buying and renting out in each duty location.  I am currently at JBLM and live in Olympia :)  Do you manage your property here ose a local PM ?  Looking for a PM right now as I may move in the next 12 months.  Cyurrent other properties are in Fayetteville, Colorado Springs, Auguta GA and Luoisiana

There are a ton of great tips out there, including the ones by Brandon and Dmitiry above. The podcasts are great. One even focused on a REI investor that was investing while on Active Duty. James Vermillun I believe was the member

Again welcome to BP

 Hi Ken!  Nice to meet you.  Thanks for the tips. We only have the rentals in Oly and Columbus.  We sold our house in Louisiana because of its age and high maintenance. I use Hometown Property Management for our Oly house.  We have used them for the past 8 years.  Danny Anderson is the contact there.  I have been happy with them.  If you have any other questions about Hometown I can fill you in.  Have you considered managing the property yourself?  It could save you a lot of money.  Best of luck with the PCS and buy and hold plan.  Im happy to hear we aren't the only crazy Army family with this plan.

We are also an Army family and have rental in Olympia, WA. Welcome to the site, it is a great place for networking and finding reliable information. We are also trying to buy and hold at every duty station. Eventually we want to get into some multifamily units and maybe a flip or two. Good luck with your endeavors!

 Hi Trailson! Nice to meet you.  Our Oly rental has been our best rental.  I am so happy to have found BP.  What a great resource.  Best of luck to you!  So happy to hear there are other military families as crazy as us. ;)

Ah! So you're still in Columbus? My best friend out here, her boyfriend is stationed there. He's one of the Rangers. Would be a hoot if you guys know each other (it is surprisingly that small of a world sometimes). Does your hubby know any of the Rangers? (before I shout off names all over the internet)

 Hey Ali!  Its such a small Army world, but we don't know him.  Lauren's hubby might. But then again most of the Soldiers we know are married. ;)  We would love to connect with you.

 Hi Ali! Lauren's hubby might know him.  We are now in Alaska (burr!!)

I am new to BiggerPockets too! I am looking forward to connecting with you and others while learning and investing all the way! We have four rentals and currently serving as the property manager.  

 Hi Chonda!  Nice to meet you!  We are hoping to be stationed in DC in the next year or so. I would love to connect with you and learn about that market.  It seems so overwhelming.
