Hey Peter, After working with several PMs I decided to manage myself using the online tools.

I have always been interested in real estate and engaged in BiggerPockets loosely while in college at West Virginia University.

Also, there is a lot of new competing rental supply coming online in these areas and a few of my developer friends mentioned to me they are seeing downward pressure on new build rents.

After a quick drive by of the property and some online research, I submitted my offer and it was executed by lunchtime.

With absolutely no prior experience investing in real estate, I'm getting to the point/age where retirement from corporate America is getting closer and closer, however I still have 2 kids to put through college over the next 2-6 years.

I am a mother of 2 and trying to get into this to save up college funds for them when they grow up so that they too can chase their dreams in life.

Your goal is to get a tenant who can navigate an online portal for maintenance request and paying rent online.   

Engaging with fellow investors at networking events and online forums can offer helpful guidance.Good luck!

Take time to learn through military-focused resources like Military House Hacking or Active Duty Passive Income, and connect with other military investors online or on base.
