Military member new to the investing world

[Jonathan Hagan]

Hi everyone,

My name is Jonathan Hagan and I am new to the BP forum. I have been lurking around the site and listening to the podcast for a few weeks now so I figured now was time for me to jump into the discussion. I am a newly commissioned Air Force officer who is just starting to look into the world of real estate investment. I'm 22 y.o. and wet behind the ears as far as active investing goes, so I am here to learn as much as possible, specifically as it relates to balancing investing with a full time military career and constantly moving around.

As far as areas of investment are concerned I am still sorting through and learning about all the different kinds of investing and their benefits and weaknesses, but I seem to be most interested in the residential multi-family buy and hold idea. I'm currently stationed in Wichita Falls, TX and will be here for at least another year and a half while I go through pilot training.

I am really looking forward to all your posts and stories and the opportunity to learn from people who are really in this business. I just want to say thanks in advance for everything. Already, BP has been an outstanding resource to me and I am really excited to learn from everyone's experience!

Hi Jonathan,

It's great that you are starting at 22. I wish I had started sooner. All that matters is that we take action today.

Glad to see you hear on the site.
