All investing is (or should be) deploying capital to achieve a return based on your risk tolerance. 

Anyway, Im a 19 yr old currently deployed in the Marine Corps.

I caught my contractor in time and we're gonna just deploy some of our extra tile in the kitchen for this one.

You'll want to know exactly how your money is spent for the services given, and that it's a useful/valuable deployment of your capital.

It feels like buying houses for free when you deploy equity from other properties to scale up.  

My current tenets still have 6 months left on their lease the husband is getting deployed with 6 months left and he doesn’t get his next duty station until after the deployment.

I’m brand new and learning as much as I can but.. we are currently in California and I can’t imagine working in this market for my first investment.While husband is deployed for 6 months we are thinking of looking for a home to buy in South Carolina where I’ll be staying during deployment..I know the area from living there 5 years before moving to CA. scenario #1VA loan to buy turn key, live in and rent out rooms.

We need to move into commercial lending, I have found, as I continue to read on BP.To come up with the money for our slow-and-steady acquisitions plan, we have saved up bonus or reenlistment lump sums, used the DoD 10% Savings Plan while on deployments, set aside funds at from promotions, and TSP loans to get down payment money, as well as accumulated mutual funds that we cashed out. 

What I was stating is that doing just that signing a contract and not closing is a method that could be deployed .... if it was a one off deal you really wanted it .. and you think the wholesaler is a schmuck and you don't care about a relationship..

Have a buddy who did several deals while deployed including 242 units.
