Trent,

     After reading everything above, it sounds like you're in a good spot.  Sure there are some uncertainties, but you sound like you know what you're getting yourself into.  The only part that doesn't make sense to me is going for a 400k house for a personal home with all the other additives like the 190k difference.  Depending on the market and what you're able to do with it, I see this house being your future problem.  I agree with Bruce in going a little light on house 2, so that you can really maximize that springboard you talked about.  Maybe doing so could allow you the opportunity to buy a 250k house to live in (maybe rehab if that's a low $ for your market) and a 150k house to rehab, still coming out to 400. 400k for a residence just doesn't seem to bring money in the way that I think you are able, is all.  But, investing while serving isn't particularly easy, I'm finding. 

Let us know what happens or how it works out for you!

Columbus ga is... Interesting. Your should definitely talk to the gentleman above. Good luck, sir.

Hey everyone!

Who:     Real Estate Investors and Professionals

What:    Rekindling Columbus, GA's Meet-Up - (1st Meet-Up)

When:   8 Dec 2018; 1:00p.m. EST

Where: Fountain City Coffee (Uptown Columbus on Broadway; same block and side of street at The Cannon)

Why:     The Columbus, GA community can be improved through a good network of good natured Real Estate Investors.  This town has come a long way in 5-10 years (ask anyone), so why not be a part of that solution, especially knowing Fort Benning will be here for years to come. 

How:    Grab some coffee, find our table, and we will begin introductions (so be ready to tell us about yourself)!  Then we can transition into some quality questions:

1. Why do you want to invest in Real Estate? Belief

2. How do you want to invest in Real Estate? Plan/Goal

3. What will you do to invest in Real Estate?  System

Let's start there to break the ice, then folks can pair off and chat, or we can continue and analyze a deal or two!  Look forward to seeing you all!  

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or anything at all and I will get back with you as soon as time permits. Thanks!
