Thank you Erica. I will read that this weekend. Did you form an LLC before you made your first purchase on a property?

My wife and I are looking at a couple properties in Lynchburg and live in Fredericksburg, but before jumping into buying properties we want to get some legal advice on protecting our family. Does anyone have a real estate attorney they would recommend? Thanks for the assist. Corey

Thank you all for the welcome. Jim I would like to get together to trade stories and learn from your experiences. I look forward to helping anyone where I can and learning as much as possible from everyone here on BiggerPockets.

My name is Corey, I am about 4 years away from retiring from the Marine Corps and want to start laying a solid foundation now for when that day comes. My wife and I are both very interested in real estate and have been since we bought our first house in CA in 2008 following the crash. We have since sold that house and now have a house in VA that is our primary residence. I decided a couple weeks ago to stop just talking about it and start a plan to begin this awesome journey, and that is how I found Bigger Pockets. I am currently working on acquiring my VA real estate license and working with local agents/brokers in order to gain a broader experience of the market. I am looking to invest in the 22554, 22406, 22407, and surrounding areas. I am eager to learn, gain knowledge, and expand my network. I look forward to hearing the advice!
