It is a very low bar for you to meet, but keep in mind that is also the level of upkeep some S8 tenants might have in mind.

@Robert Washington We don't have any specific features geared towards military personnel, but I would be happy to set up a meeting with you to help you get the most out of the platform. 

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

And as an LP, I can do 75% of my due diligence from my desktop computer, the rest is going to the properties themselves, going to sponsor meetings, talking with other investors etc, which is a ton of fun. good luck :)  

You'll be able to meet seasoned investors that can direct you in the right direction.

We have a meet up scheduled soon for our local investors. 

All have to be screened and meet your qualifications.
