I know it's always been a small, rural Marine town, but they have been building up over the years.I decided to look to see if it would be worth investing in the area, and the numbers look amazing in the outset.

I do know that there are a lot of marine biology students from the oceanographic institute in woods hole that need housing over the winter and rent houses in Falmouth during the offseason.

Hello BP,I'm a former Marine and was on a plane with a Sailor  (CH53 pilot) when we started talking about real estate and he introduced me to BP. 

What turned me off is that almost every cow pasture is for sale in rincon, even the one in front of Tres Palmes, the marine reserve.

You can adjust and do what I call reverse BRRRR which is buy with tenants, rent, and wait for it to marinate and then rehab, refinance, but that's leaving more money in the property.

Well, I don't want to say it was a huge mistake but it definitely could've been avoided and had a lot more money to invest by taking advantage of BiggerPockets and finding more local coaches/mentors which I happened to do with my real estate brokerage after separating from the Marines after 6 years of active duty. 

I ask because I am a Marine Corps Vet and CA Real Estate Agent (CalBRE #01969244) I can help with some research and connect you with a Military Friendly RE Agent in your area.Right now the VA Loan limits in LOS ANGELES COUNTY CA is $636,150 for One-Unit (SFR), $814,500 for Two-Unit, $984,525 for a Three-Unit, and $1,223,475 for a Four-UnitThough I am down in San Diego I would be willing to help you in LA County.

There is a lot to consider to your business plan and as a retired Marine myself, the military essentially caters to service men and women in relo transit and also has several options for visiting families and friends.  

I was fresh out of the Marine Corps.I didn't have a lot of job history, but I did work for a real estate investment company, and my job was to be the acquisitions manager, talking with home sellers about selling their homes.I paid cash for everything.

I’m 29, Marine Corps Veteran.
