Hello, I'm brand new to bigger pockets and currently living in Hawaii, but moving overseas in a few short weeks.I'm a disabled veteran, and with my Navy severance from this I was able to purchase my mother a house in Oklahoma City (FHA), however she's only paying part of the mortgage of course so it isn't an investment, just a place for her to live and hopefully we can build some equity.I have some of this cash left over and would love to get into RE in hopes of some side income, but I'm brand new to this subject.To further complicate this I'm planning to move overseas in about a month.
