BRAC can destroy a small military town overnight.One thing that would help is if they start talking about less deployments or bringing troops home from overseas.

Going to zero debt is a waste of capital to me as it could have been productively deployed for various other activities, eg further investments, long term capital improvements, enlarging my wine cellar and adding more customs stamps to my passport :grin:

Just depends on what u want to work on and how much capital your deploying 

I deploy more often than I like too, and find that searching the internet for properties is a type of therapy for me.

I would like to start investing in buy and hold real estate when I return from my deployment rather soon, and build as quickly and safely as I can, in order to get closer toward my goal of financial freedom.

Hi @Mike Eichler,That's awesome that you want to get into real estate and have some capital to deploy.

Even if it's your money, you at least loose the income from interest when it's deployed on the project.

Consolidate up to larger assets or offer seller-financing or re-deploy to syndications, etc. 

Now though after several deployments, transfers, and very long days, I have several properties that all pay their bills. 

Additionally, when we deployed to hostile locations, we used the 10% savings program allowed in those situations.
