Welcome aboard shipmate.  This is the place to get your brain housing group up to speed on the ricky tick.  What ship's were you on? 

Hello Lawrence,

I was a Corpsman for most of my career. My sea tours were with the Marines. I was on the USS Harry S Truman CVN75 as a OS. How about yourself?

I was actually stationed in Tinker AFB!

Quote from @Marshall Leipprandt:

@Ben Bartkowski Hey Ben, welcome to BP! It's great to see other service-members / Veterans on BP looking to build for their futures. BP has helped educate and inspire a lot of military folks to pursue real estate as a means of building long-term wealth.Using your benefits to pursue something you are interested in and passionate about also sounds like a great strategy. Have you used your VA loan at all to purchase any properties thus far in your career?

I used it once back in 2013 and rented it out. Sold it 6 years later for a 30k profit.

Hello everyone!

I'm new to property investing, I'm still in the education phase. Before I go further a little about myself. My Name is Ben and I'm currently in the Navy living in Portsmouth VA. I'm getting ready to go recruiting in Washington State, where I plan to retire and stay. I'm interested in general contracting and remodeling homes. Thinking about using my Post 9/11 to fund my college in construction management. My guilty pleasure is I love Warhammer 40k books and video games. My goal is to have my own house flipping company to save for retirement age. I'm very good listener, when I can actually hear what their saying (hearing problems from Service) I'm very excited to interact and learn from everyone and do some networking.
