I do got to say though, if you are military or affiliated or related at all to any family and you have access to USAA..

Two military bases nearby.Value: $300,000pre-foreclosurePurch price: $250,000.

FYI that you can advertise rooms for rent on the official military website - homes.mil.

Texas is very diverse and San Antonio is heavily active duty military.

Honestly, in all the properties I have managed for military members, the very worst take overs have been homes where the military member was a roommate, and left before the others. 

Unless you have tons of experience already with corporate management (or military command), it's going to take time to learn how to understand and manage the PEOPLE who are your tenants.

Recently left the military to begin a new chapter of my life with real estate investing!

I found a great cloud-based brokerage that will allow me to train without physically being in the office taking leave from my military position.I think about finding a brokerage like going shoe shopping.

I’m active duty military and I’ve also have been a licensed real estate agent for 10 years.

I have done research in my immediate area and have found at least a dozen properties on the market (a few off) that have numbers that are attractive to me.Like I said, I've made a few friends from other parts of the country (prior military) on this forum so I know it's a great resource- and I'm looking forward to making connections.Also- if anyone is interested in properties in the CSRA or August Georgia area- definitely reach out.
