The Army, in an attempt to assure me a measure of success, will allow me to participate in an UNPAID internship of my choosing.

Have you had it taken care of successfully?

Hi Diana and welcome to B.P.This is a fantastic site for networking and learning from other successful investors.Have you considered looking in the Midwest? 

In my opinion you'll have a higher success rate with a broker because not only do they know who the players are, they also know how to present your deal for the best response (and they know which ones to avoid, too). 

Also you can check out, meetup.com and look for local real estate events or events in general that interest you.SUMMARY: Find out what exactly you want to do in real estate, this will make your journey more focused and probably successful since you're not trying to do 100 things at once.

I’m currently working with a private lender for the properties to invest in and with a partnership to help with the rehab I’m confident we both can make this successful.

To your continued success in real estate investing,Justin Greenwood

They key to their success is people just like you who give a quick glance and just go with the flow.. where as looking back it might seem odd that you'd get such a casual email for such a big change...

@Jordan Houde - hi Jordan, were you successful in finding any locals?

It ain't going to be a walk in the park but there's no better feeling than pursuing something passionately in hopes of finding greener pastures.If you're looking to network with like-minded and hungry for success people, you're in the right place.
