.🌎 Right now I'm based in Marin County, California, but I'm at a turning point in my life and figuring out where I want to move to and invest in my first property. 💫 My goal is to buy my first house hack, but I am priced out of the California market unless I want to go the condo route.

My name is Burt McCarroll and I am a recent graduate from the US Merchant Marine Academy.

I'm currently in the Marine Corps and will be EAS-ing (getting out) in July.

I live close to a HUGE Marine Base.

Just as an aside I built over 30 infill houses in downtown area of Charleston Sc starting about 8 years ago I was buying lots off of America street for 40k my first spec i did there sold for 350k to Shep of Southern Charm fame.. now lots are 250k to 350k and homes are 800k and well north of that I cant make my numbers work there so we have not done anything in almost 2 years even though I still have my team and I follow the market daily.

I realized that I left out all of Marin County: Marin, Mill Valley, Corte Madera, Larkspur.

I am currently a Merchant Mariner and was previously spending 8-10 months a year at sea.

One option is a marine loan, which is a type of loan specifically designed for purchasing or refinancing a boat.

Hello, I was talking to a Marine that is going to retire in the next 3-months.
