@Jordan IngramWelcome to Bigger Pockets and also the best state in the country ;)  My wife and I live in Oxnard and we just completed our first flip. 

I'm sure most people only ask this question in their head.Take the course to learn about real estate.Take the classes as if you are on the path to getting licensed.  

I know I still have a long way to go in my journey to become financially independent, but I finally believe I am on the right path.

Thank you for your services to our country, my family and I am sure all of BP appreciates what you sacrifice on daily basis for us to enjoy our freedoms in this country!

A little back story on me I moved across the country with a family, no money, and had prospective employment but that did not work out.

Your on the right path.

It is a loan program available in New Mexico that allows the buyer to get in with little or no money.There are several people doing LO's in our market and around the country that have put a lot of time and energy in to researching how to do this legally.  

Does anyone know the protocols of  investing outside of the US. ( I understand that each country has different laws and regulations) I wanted to know if it is more lucrative to start investing in countries such as Cuba or Thailand vs investing in the US?

I used to buy single family and fourplexes, but after 4 years doing this, I realized that this path will take much longer for kind of money I am looking for. 

I usually had 4-5 projects across the country at a time...unless it was a large project going.All PM's are not the same.
