@David Pere

Thank you David!

@Peter McDonough

Hi Peter!

My brother in law has been very happy with his AL rental. He lives in San Diego and rents here while investing in AL. I don’t know as much about the appreciate discussion but I do appreciate your comments!

Are you exclusively in AL?

@Jaysen Medhurst

I was thinking about Columbus, OH and Kansas City...only reasons for those were again...boots on the ground with family already in place. What locations are you interested in?

@Jaysen Medhurst

That’s great advice Jaysen! I agree that I should make sure that our first place is suited to fit a couple babies instead of needing to move. Although the Navy might have other plans...

Thanks again!

@Kenneth Donaghy

Thanks Kenneth! Have you invested in property since you joined BP (or prior)?

@Dan Heuschele

Thanks Dan for you insight. SD is scary for me bc from my research prices are at the top right now. I’m planning for long term and thinking about the $ I’d save in rent and the $ I could make in value add projects or rent for MFUs, but again...still scary in such an expensive market.

@Micah Redden

Thank you for the tip! I’ll check it out!

About me:

I am attached to a military man, Chris, in San Diego (renting) for at least the next 4 years. Chris and I are both 34-year-old DINKs looking to start a family soon. After listening to BiggerPockets Money and reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I am obsessed with breaking into real estate. I have been an avid investor in other areas since college, I am ready to learn something new! My day job is an engineer supporting the Navy. Over the past year and a half, I intentionally reduced my hours to ~30 hours per week in order to have more time to learn about other investing options. In a couple years I hope to be out of the typical work force and be a stay-at-home mom (don’t actually have the kids yet) with investments to manage.

REI Goal 1: Find a primary residence deal in San Diego using the VA loan with emphasis on a multi-family house hack or single-family live-in flip.

REI Goal 2: Out of state rental investments. My brother-in-law is actively investing in Huntsville, AL, which is the market I'm currently researching, but am open to any knowledge/location.

Thank you for welcoming me to this community. Let the knowledge flow and the fun-times roll!
