Hey everyone,

I would really like some input and suggestions about my current situation. Long story short, I just turned 35, I am seriously considering joining the military. My age doesn’t scare me as I’m in better shape than I was in my 20s. I don’t own a home but I do, however, want to start investing in RE. I figured I’d “military house hack” and put as much $ into investments and have something to show for when I’m done. Has anyone ever invested while on active duty or know someone who has? What would be the pros and cons?

Any suggestions or tips will go a long way. Thank you all.

So I’m a very green newbie in real estate. I’m literally beginning to learn RE jargon and abbreviations. 

Has anyone ever taught themselves to learn construction, carpentry, etc. to use it on a flip? A do-it-yourself renovation? Would I have a great ROI in learning a certain skill related to house renovation?

Also, what is the consensus on buying a house to rent out? Crash coming?
