My real estate has given me a lot of freedom, the freedom to pursue my dreams of leaving the military to become a self-employed photographer (www.ryanblax.com), but I feel that I'm so close to being able to live without any worry of monthly income.

Once we are established in our new location (next February hubby will transition to Veteran status after 20 of years of loyal service in the Air Force), I plan to obtain a real estate license, an underwriter certification, and any other education that will aid in real estate success.

Reaching out to any veteran investor in San Antonio area to chat with!

In fact I'm trying to find a veteran real estate investor near my area ( Toledo, Ohio ) that I can perhaps be an assistant of or intern at some place.

Seek realtor who either has experience  with experience with investors, or buying and flipping his own properties ............also with other team members  members (property management, handyman,  local bankers, contractors, etc) to help point me in the right directionI am a US Army Disabled Veteran Grandpa, who has decided to invest in 2-4 multifamily houses .... any other veterans or anyone with real estate investing experience I would appreciate  advice, tips to minimize costly mistakes as a newbie investor...

When veteran investors say the rates do not matter, what they mean is that they adjust the other parts of the formula to get the desired outcome.

Next, clean, repair and photograph as much as possible.

"Blackstone and Deutsche Bank are in talks to sell a bond backed by home-rental payments"After gorging on SFH, here comes exit strategy for Blackstone...Any comments from note veterans if there is an opportunity for notes investors in this.

We were a very cool space and had everything in terms of tenants from painters, photographers, cleaning service, community groups, etc.

First off, sorry for the long post, but hopefully it provides value to someone starting out or reminds a veteran of starting out.
