Back to the point: Coworker lives in Baltimore (union Square), has a house warming.

Before joining the military I had my real estate license for a year and now have my referral agent license.

I have about $20,000 liquid that I can tap into from savings, which I would use a portion for the down payment, and my credit score is 710-714 so I'm not opposed to obtaining financing through a local bank or credit union for financing.Also, what additional books, materials, or resources would you recommend that I could read to get myself more familiarized with this form of real estate investing?

I am in the military and have Florida state residency, but live in CA.

I am interested in the Union & Essex County area.

She is also a military spouse, and we are both domiciled in FL so we are exempt from CA income taxes under Military Spouse Residency Relief Act (and as documented in CA FTB 1032). 

Also I am in the military and wanted to know home can I make Benefits work for me.

Or is it just better to knock and face the disgruntled homeowner.5 - Does an investor just line up credit first and then go into the wild.6 - If the credit lined up via a bank/credit-union is for more than the price of the home, does it still require your own 20% down.7 - Duplexes/Triplexes/Quadplexes don't seem to be listed very often on many sites.

hello all, I have a tennent who's retired military.

I am a newly commissioned 2d Lt and my goal is to grow enough financial freedom, for myself and my partner, after my military career, or as a financial backup for my family in the case something were to happen while serving.
