Fast forward to today.  

After talking to the organizers and the topic of military member lack of RE education, I was wondering if there were any interest from the forums to have a meetup group down here.

I was hoping to hear feedback for whether this was a flawed strategy and maybe educate me on areas where I was ignorant.  

If you are looking to pay your bills today then maybe you need to look at flipping projects. 

I have access to some off market property, nothing at that price point today but I can make enquiries if there is any more information to help narrow down the search.Send me a message if I can help.Kind regards,Charles

We have a great passion for education and helping people accomplish any goals related to education!

Consider the money it sounds like you will lose as paying for an education and keep learning.

@Larry T.Forgot to mention that I'm not interested in a flip unless I have to exit because I don't want to pay capital gains.You are correct it would be 107K not 134K.I just found out today that the owner will file a claim on her roof and get it repair or replace, saving me 5-10K.
