Good evening Bigger Pockets!

I have stalked Bigger Pockets off and on for a couple years but this is my first post. A little bit about me: I am an active duty Marine Corps helicopter pilot currently stationed at MCAS New River in North Carolina. I am married with 4 awesome kids (the newest being my two-week old daughter!). My wife and I have been landlords for about 5 years on a home in Pensacola, FL we turned into a rental when the Marine Corps moved us. Although I have been interested in Real Estate for years and have been trying to buy another rental property for about a year, it wasn't until last month that we bought our first actual investment property in Jacksonville, NC. 

Now I am almost done with the rehab on that property and looking to dive back in! I have learned alot from the Bigger Pockets community over the last couple years and I am excited to connect with others and give back!

    Awesome! Thanks for reaching out David. I see you do wholesaling, do you own any rental properties yourself in Lenoir?

    Hey Joseph,

    We're a veteran owned and operated local company, all marines so far. We are looking to expand quickly and fast. Let me know if you want to meet up sometime with the team to jump in some more investments in Jacksonville. Of we are looking to expand multi state due to our other military buddies in other states since getting out.
