@Sara Cunningham

Thank you so much for the insight! Do you happen to use a seperate property management co for everyone of your properties? I gues my question really would be, if I purchase a property at every duty station, would I have to consider different property management co. in each area?

Thank you @Elizabeth C.! I like the idea of buying a property at every duty station. How has moving from duty station to duty station worked out for you in terms of turning your primary residency into a rental? Have you noticed any challenges of managing your properties while having to move to different duty stations?

Thank you very much Dawn!

Elizabeth- Thank you for the helpful insight! I plan on investing in a property at every duty station I am located at, my only question is, in terms of utilizing your VA loan, what are some things you encounter when using your VA loan for an investment property as opposed to a primary residence?

Good morning to everyone on the west coast, and good afternoon to you all on the east coast! I discovered Bigger Pockets a few months ago, and decided that joining the BP world would benefit myself in acquiring a wealth of knowledge from you all, so I would first like to thank you for your time.

I am currently an active duty Marine stationed out in the Los Angeles area. I am just beginning in the real estate world at the age of 25, and was wondering the best route to consider while living an active duty career in the military? I have read many success stories on the forums about other active duty military members who have bought properties at every duty station they have been assigned to, and I really think that is a great idea! Any specific suggestions in terms of making the leap while still serving? Thank you all for your time, and I look forward to gaining great insight from everyone!

Respectfully,

-Oscar Sosa

Hello Everyone!

My Name is Oscar Sosa, and I am new to bigger pockets. I have been listening to the podcasts for a while now, and decided to create an account. I am currently stationed in the Los Angeles area as an active duty Marine. While on deployment back in 2010 I discovered Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and like many I believe, was very intrigued with the thought of using vehicles like real estate to someday reach financial freedom. I look forward to the vast amount of knowledge that I will gain from you all! Thank you for your time!

Respectfully,

-Oscar
