@Benjamin Kelly, welcome to BP. I am currently transitioning out after 12 years. My wife and I recently started our own real estate investment company and to date, it is taking off. I have a good buddy out in Phoenix I served with on my first deployment to Iraq, who is also in finance.  Are you looking for someone to talk to about RE investing or more so about your corporate job/work life balance?  

 Hey Dan,

Absolutely. I am looking to talk about REI in the Phoenix metro area. My goal is to start my own REI company and leave my current job in 5 years time. I would love to pick your brain about your own experience and strategies going forward. Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to connecting further.

Ben

Hey BP Community,

I am a recently transitioned military officer who has just joined the corporate finance world and realized that it is not all that it is cracked up to be. I enjoy where I work but there is a part of me that needs to become the arbiter of my own financial fate. From reading the site for a few days now I know there are many out there just like me.

I have been immensely interested in REI for the last two years but have not taken the plunge as of yet. This year I want that to change. I am earnestly seeking a mentor in the Phoenix Metro area and I am motivated and determined to make this happen.

I look forward to getting to know this community and to contribute as soon as I can. Please reach out if you are in the Phoenix area as I would love to have a chat or meet for coffee.

Thanks,

Ben
