@Dana N Johns without knowing your situation it's hard to give you too much advice, but I will tell you that real estate investing can be great for long term wealth creation, it can help you get to financial freedom, so you can quit your job, but it will take some time. And quitting your job will probably not happen right away, the income from your job will help you to get loans to buy real estate. If you have access to a VA loan that is going to be a huge advantage that I would recommend you try to use if you can. Step one is to buy a primary residence to live in, step two is to buy another primary residence to live in and turn the 1st one into a rental.
Thank you for reaching out I appreciate it. I do plan on using my VA loan I will like to give you a call when you are free I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind ?

Hi Dana!
As others have mentioned, definitely taking advantage of your VA loan status will be ideal for getting your first property.
Have you decided on your overall RE strategy (flips, rentals, wholesaling, etc.)? This will also help determine what type of home you ultimately purchase and provide your beginning foundation.
