Good afternoon! My name is Zeke Sanchez, I'm 22 yrs old and currently serve in the United States Marine Corps. I will be getting out and moving back to Texas (DFW area) in November 2022. I am looking for my next step in my career and would greatly appreciate some tips, advice and who to talk to show me the ropes in real estate investing. I have already dipped my toe in research/ education in real estate and would love to know more! Thank you in advance and have good one!
Have you heard of the SkillBridge program? I'm in the Navy and I am about to start a SkillBridge with Keller Williams in Honolulu, 6 months prior to my EAOS. I would recommend looking into that, there are SO many things you can do in real estate and this program allows you to completely immerse yourself while still having the cushion of the military pay. You can find out if it's right for you or not and move from there.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about it!

@Zeke Sanchez Thanks for your service, and welcome to Bigger Pockets and welcome to the addicting world of real estate! You'll find there are lots of fellow military members on these forums (active, retired, and guard/reserve), so I definitely encourage you to stay active on the forum. I've used these forums to find property management, agents, contractors, lenders, and much more! It's a fantastic networking tool as well as a great place to soak up information.
Make sure you're taking some time to think about your long-term goals (10, 20+ years). Where do you want to be in the future? Once you have a good idea about your goals, you can work backward and develop a strategy for reaching those goals. There are so many ways to succeed in real estate, so you need to make sure you're using a strategy and asset class that fit your long-term goals.
Best of luck; keep us updated on your journey, and let me know if you ever want to chat more about real estate!
