Hello BP,

I am honored to be part of this group where I can skip out thousands of google searches and research tons of information on here from many others that have the same ideas. During my time in the military I learned never to sell a home. When I was ordered to relocate to other states for my duty I decided to rent my current house and buy another one in my new location. I have done this for 5 years now and have a total of 3 single family rentals. After serving 6 years in the Marine Corps and have transitioned out of the military I would like to focus more of my time in real estate investing. Currently I am planning on selling a second home and moving onto multifamily residences in the Phoenix, Az area or Southern California. Hopefully I can chat with other investors and hopefully find some mentoring groups

@Brandon Patrick I cohost a monthly meetup with my go to real estate agent @Donald E Appleberry in San Diego. He is a former Recon Marine, and I am still active duty. We are military real estate investors ourselves, and happy to help in any way!

    Hey man!

    Love the thought process and mindset. Sounds like you're at the point where upgrading the portfolio is a good move! As David mentioned, we host a REI meet up tailored to other Military investors. Not a seminar or sales pitch - I want to over emphasize that. Would love to have you out or feel free to give me a call to talk about Souther California!

    Brandon,

    Thank you for your service.

    I'm in an investor in LA.

    Where in SoCal are you considering?

    Best,

    Jon

    @Brandon Patrick welcome to BP. I am based out of the Phoenix area and also invest here. We host a monthly meetup group that is 1 of 5 that I know of that focuses exclusively on multifamily investing. We educate, inspire and bring in guest speakers to provide insight. Our speaker last month is actually a retired marine that lives in San Diego and invests in Phoenix and Tucson. I'd be happy to connect the two of you and if you're ever out this way feel free to stop by our free meetup!
