I hear a lot of people say to stay local at first, but I'm also in San Diego where the competition is fierce and (as far as I can tell) few to no cash flow properties are out there.A little about myself I'm transitioning out of the military and will be going to school using my G.I.

On the agent side, this will be an easy transition into investing as you'll be working with a lot of single-family home transactions just like you would for non-investor clients.

What made a huge difference was that I found a business partner based in the U.S. who was equally motivated to invest and could watch over our investments when I couldn't.I finally made the transition to being home and investing full time.

Wish you the best in your transition and investments :-)

Any advise on where my head is at how this transition may look with an expedited process is greatly appreciated!!

I feel like gaining experience through learning from others, falling and getting back up to master all of the different aspects of BRRRR is essential and figured using a property I know well might ease the transition into BRRRR but the CoC numbers are not very good so this thinking might be antithetical to BRRRR.I am also open to partnering with someone who has experience in BRRRR and am willing to contribute capitol and hustle.

My background was in pharma, transitioned to biotech start ups, moved into food technology and work as a Senior Program Manager.
