Welcome to BiggerPockets!

I'm active duty Air Force and spent a few years at Hickam...loved it!

There may be a couple of options based on market availability.

1. Use your VA loan for a multifamily/house hack. Again, I know prices are a lot higher there.

2. If you're going to be there for a while, consider getting your real estate license. With homes at $800K, a 3% commission will give you $24K gross. Sell a couple of homes in a year, and you're off to the races.

I hope this helps.

I wish you all the best.

I recommend starting local and moving out. There are opportunities, but what's important is knowing your niche (e.g., STR, MTR, LTR, etc.) and running your numbers.

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

I recommend looking into using your VA loan benefit and moving out of military housing.

I'm active duty Air Force and PCSed last year. I've maxed out my VA loan benefit with three active loans now.

Let me know if you ever want to discuss how you can do the same.

I wish you all the best. 

Maybe you can use your background to inform investors about specific markets around the country. There are plenty of posts here that ask about which markets to invest in. It would be great to click a button, and investors have that information (and more) at their fingertips.

Just one thought...

I wish you all the best.

If no one responds, you can click the “Find An Agent” link above.

If all else fails, I can connect you with a local agent.

I’m active duty Air Force as well…😉

I wish you all the best.

Great info! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on taking action!

I wish you all the best.

I recommend starting local first to see what opportunities exist.

Start small, but take action.

I wish you all the best as you get started.
