Hello from Fayetteville, NC

[Melissa Anderson]

Hello all! I’ve actually been “lurking” on the site for a few months while doing some more research and cementing my goals but figured it was time to make an introduction. My fiancé and I are both active duty soldiers at Fort Bragg, NC. We are closing on our first house now; financing with the VA loan and plan to live in it for a year, turn it into a rental, and repeat the process with another house. However, given that we’re both military and a couple other circumstances, we have a bit more capital than a typical young-20s couple to invest so are also looking to buy a multi family (ideally quad or tri-plex) property that we can do some light rehab on and start cash flowing. Looking forward to connecting with any other real estate investors in our area; just attended our first meet-up last week and had a great time! And if anyone is looking to sell in the Fort Bragg area, please feel free to hit me up :) thanks!
