We also need the precious 10% Down payment.

We have talked about that as well. time is so precious but at this point it's worth giving it a shot.

I have about a year left in the army so time is precious. if anyone has any advice or anything please reach out. 

I own no property in USA, and most of my legal/financial moorings are based on my location overseas: residence in Korea; bank is US but address of account is based on an Armed Forces Post Office; tax address is my Dad's home in Kansas; precious metal holdings in Florida; no US-based drivers license (lived and worked in Korea since 2008. 

Again, thanks for taking some of your precious time to help me on this and I truly appreciate your help and advice.

But if you can find a way, set aside some of your precious time for learning painfully slow lessons, and screwing up, and don't believe anyone who tells you they have a sure-fire way for you to bypass the learning curve of this business, or that your time is too valuable to waste on failure.

If you wait you losing your most precious resource… time… compounding money… in 1-3 years you should have your 25% for your next investment property.Don’t overpay and make sure the numbers work

So I'm always nickel and dimed at the end for little items that should have been taken care of during the rehab which is sometimes understandable but the most precious thing I'm losing is time as the contractors have to be scheduled again to come out and then another inspection has to happen. 

I bought my current home, a duplex, at $175,000 in 2018 and the precious owner bought it for $240,000 in 2004.
