For a beginner investor in RE with limited finances (I am Active Duty Military), What would be your first investment property  and how would you go about doing it?

@Roy Cleeves is also a great resource and an active investor in your local market. 

We are now actively looking for our next deal. 

Sorry if this was a bit long, but I'm really excited to be getting active on these forums.

I’m under contract on 3 duplexes on the same street in Mobile, AL.

In a town with lower incomes but two blocks from main street with shops and restaurants. 6.

Your books are where all activity is centralized.If you find yourself spending too much time on Quickbooks, it's time to outsource it to a competent bookkeeper (preferably one who specializes in real estate), especially with the size of your portfolio.

I mean are you also a flipper on top of your agent activity?

Louisville has an active REI group (you can find them on the Meet-up app).

Just be sure the property will be for investment only as you there are restrictions on you (and other disqualified persons) using it.If you have self-employment activity, the Solo 401k plan will likely be even better for you than a self-directed IRA.
