However, I'm not sure what I can do to start now or if should wait to start.I'm currently in the Navy living in Jacksonville, NC.

I live in Arizona, from Chicago and served our country in the US Navy.

Many of us have create a website/blog giving more information about our model, etc.My blog is about self management from a distance, personal properties turned rentals, operating nicer houses on smaller margins, full time job with rentals on the side, etc.Our goal is to use the income earned from the rentals to retire early when my husband retires from the Navy.

I learned that Orlando, FL is by far, the most visited destination by brazilians.

I WISH I had know about this when I enlisted in the Navy at 17.

Great post, I just got a 100k heloc on my primary residence through navy federal.

@Chad Johnson I have family there and I went through Navy flight school there and know there is always a need for Navy and Marine Corps officers looking for housing in Meridian!

@Johnny Quilenderino I am currently in the US NAVY and I'm stationed in Norfolk VA.

So I have a personal accout with navy federal, and they offer some very low down, low interest rate terms for owner occupied loans.

There's obviously a wealth of expertise and experience here and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone and perhaps helping others along the way.A bit about myself: Ex-Navy Officer currently finishing my MBA at McCombs (Go Horns!)
