Devour BP and hit up your local REIA meetings!

I'm currently in the Air Force, stationed in northern California and I'm looking to invest in Hudson Valley, NY or am affordable area around it.

@Marni Marchand Of everything you have stated above what hit me the most was that this experience has made you dread real estate as a whole.

For example, I live in Northern Virginia, and a 1/1 condo can go for up to $300,000.

By the time you leave you can refinance into a traditional loan since you should have paid down enough to have the equity there and get your whole VA benefit back for the next PCS.Feel free to hit me up or check out the company site below for more info.

It is invaluable to be able to have a 1:1 conversation (not written communication) if you hit a real scary point on a deal.Good luck and congrats!

There’s also a Tulsa Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) you can hit.

Prices are really high right now and A lot of properties are hitting the market over the next few years.

About value, Pretty sure @David Greene would have hit me over the head with sunk cost fallacies while the van build was going on.

Once you have analyzed 100 deals, you're going to start to intuitively understand which ones are good and which ones are not even before you hit the final button to analyze the deal.
