Currently looking at good opportunities near Columbus, MS.

For sale by owner, 3 bedroom / 2 full bathroom with two car garage (a little over 1300sf) in Horn Lake, Mississippi, a sought after rental market that is a suburb of Memphis Tennessee.

I am looking to buy a house in southern Mississippi and am in the military. 

Welcome, I'm also new to RE investing and am focusing in Desoto County, MS right next door to you. 

I need to get my real estate license in Illinois, New York, and California, with my first priority being IllinoisIllinois has reciprocity with CO, CT, GA, IN, IO, KT, NE, SD and WINew York has reciprocity with CO, CT, GA, AR, MA, MS, OK, PA, and WVCalifornia has no reciprocityWould it be in my interest to study for either Colorado, Connecticut, or Georgia in order to get both Illinois and New York?

The properties are spread out throughout the country in MS, OH, IN, FL and CA.

Well, Future welcome to you Ms.

Also Cody careful In Mississippi one of my clients there got thrown in Jail for brokering without a license.he got caught once got a cease and desist and I set up a transactional program for him so he could come into title and resell.. he did quite well we did one or two a week there for a few years.. then we had a falling out.. he reverted back to his old ways of tying up a property putting it on his website and reselling it without owning it or bringing in his own funds to close.. and got turned in again this time he was arrested and charged with a felony..

I would prefer something west of the Mississippi though, never been too interested in the East Coast.A colleague of mine moved to the mountains from Florida. 

I'm a Mechanical Engineer studying to get an MS in Aerospace Engineering.
