Currently in the Marine Corps, 27 years old and plan on investing in the next 2-3 years (that’s the agreement my wife and I came to) starting with buying single or multifamily houses if the numbers work. Now a few questions I had are:

-How hard is it to do real estate investing (flipping and rental properties) with having kids? Do you get plenty of time with them still?? Just worried about doing this whole thing with my wife but then both of us being to busy for our son. Thoughts on that too?

-My wife wants to go to school to get her license to be a realtor (which is awesome) but she said if we are going to start flipping that I should go to school for construction or some specific trade. Is that necessary or would it be very beneficial? She also said it’d be good for something to fall back on to if the investing goes down the drain. Thoughts?

-Looking to invest in the Jacksonville, Fl region and looking for a mentor. Any suggestions on how I could find one?
