Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

.: Quote from @James Jefferson: Hi, I have a family member that had a reverse mortgage on their property it's a 3b 1b 1 acre of land heats by oil no hvac and on well water.

what would you think of a 14,600sqft 3 unit property in sailboat bend, off market, that is RMM25 zoned and has a nice single family and duplex behind it, half of the lot if empty so it can be developed or RV/trailer parking, for $1.1M?

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

if you want to buy a vacation house for your family, and you can afford it, and you'll occasionally rent it out - that's great, it's just not an investment. 

I am active duty military and plan to use the property for deployments/holidays for my family to stay near relatives until I separate in 4 years, then to use that property as one of several future investment properties.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Or better said, they are vastly inferior to single family properties.- With $100K, you have a lot of options. 

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

When I worked with a property management company, we had someone buy a unit (single family) that had a STR and marketed it as a STR.
