.- Also, DoD doesn't do matching TSP contributions for uniformed service members, so the Roth TSP is a better investment than the regular TSP (tax-deferred), just like a Roth IRA is better than a 401K that doesn't match contributions.My strategy, for what it's worth: Like you, I contributed significantly to my Roth IRA and Roth TSP during the first 10 years of my career. 

I have been in the hotel industry for a majority of my career, also worked as a building superintendent for a local construction company for a few years.

Thanks Mike, I'm a lurker here and its always great to read about other peoples experiences etc but real estate and investing can be very broad subjects.I'm not necessarily looking for a club as much as I'm looking for a field, subject matter to study, or some good recommendations on books etc.Originally posted by @Rich C: Eventually I'll network and learn as a go but is it worth me diving into the realtor side of things?

When you submit the form, or any fields when submitting your payment, do you notice any fields boarded in red?

Buying rental properties sounds the most interesting to me as I want to build passive income but I'm a sponge in this field so I'm open to any knowledge.

In regards to turn on of utilities (when you are able to) the field service management company is usually the one responsible to handling those requests and it usually has to go through the listing agent anyways.

Stuart,On the plus side, you are out there in the field taking action. 

I'm a 37 year old teacher and have Summer's off which is great for a second career.
