Thank you everyone for the insight. Learning about RE has been eye opening for me and everyone has brought up very good points.

@Jaron Walling I am stationed in Monterery with the military. I am gonna take the 50k and put into some RE in Jax, FL my hometown. I probably should have mentioned it in my original post. 

@Christopher Phillips Thanks for the insight and I agree with the numbers you provided. My goal is to find great deals and have at least a 9% return.

@Christopher Phillips thanks for the insight. I already max out my tsp roth and roth ira. I am pulling out the 50k from my taxable funds. I do not have an issue paying the fees. I am just starting to see that re is just a better deal than stocks. Plus I have more control over the asset in RE than I do in stocks. 

@Pat L. Thanks for the advice. What properties do you like to go get and what advise would you give a noobie like me? Thanks

Question can I use an approved mortgage like a preapproved car loan and shop around or do I need to actually have a property and offer done? If this is true how long is the preapproved mortgage good for. I am new to this.Thanks for the help.
