Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I’m an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Hunt down a book - "Investing in Real Estate with Lease Options and Subject To Deals" by Wendy Patton.
