It’s time again for our monthly real estate investing meetup! This month we will be discussing ways to finance deals.

Anyone who lives in the Fort Knox, Elizabethtown, Radcliff, Vine Grove, Brandenburg, Hardin County, Meade County, and surrounding communities is invited to join us at the RE/MAX office by IHOP in E-town on Saturday September 14th at 12 noon.

Dress casual, bring a friend, and come hang out as we welcome newcomers, talk about investing, and discover how we can support one another.

No products or services will be pitched, there is no sponsor for the event, and there is no cost to attend.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Great job!

I agree with the decision to hold off on using your VA loan. I'm military as well and have used FHA loans in the past instead of VA. Your reasoning makes solid financial sense.

As mentioned above you could easily target small commercial properties or four-plexes if you preferred. I’m living on the western edge of where you are looking (Louisville, KY) and I’ve seen a lot of interest in this area. Sound you need some eyes and ears over this way to evaluate a property feel free to reach out. In the meantime, stay safe and good luck as you continue your investing journey!

Welcome to the forums @Lindsay Hamner! Sounds like you’re off to a great start. That part of FL is beautiful too! I recommend connecting with @Katherine Blazer. She’s an agent in the area who specializes in off market properties in and around where you’re looking. Good luck!

@Charles Seaman - I’ve been away from that area since last summer but have lived there almost twenty years over three different moves. 

Yes, there are some rough areas but the heavy military presence will provide you with a good pool of quality tenants. 

Additionally, the area is growing and not because the post is expanding. Population numbers continue to increase as both veterans, retirees, and their families stay in the area. The local university (Texas A&M Central Texas) was gifted like 600 acres by Fort Hood a few years back and it continues to grow. Central Texas College is also a large campus. Plus the main highway through town was designated as an Interstate a couple years back. That didn’t create an overnight economic boom but it was significant as some retail businesses, and more importantly some commercial businesses, make being located near an interstate a requirement for new locations.

If you have more specific questions please feel free to reach out directly. I think the market is fine and it’s an area I’m looking at for my next investment as well.
