Thank you @Jerry W. @Adam Gerig @Nick Wing

I'm looking into Texas right now. I have a buddy that went to boot camp with me who lives in Texas and willing to be a partner.

If the average household size is 2.5 or 2.4 is it better to buy a 3 bedroom unit or 2 bedroom?

I thought tagging someone was like it would be on Instagram. Can someone explain how to tag someone in a post? Thanks

@karenmargrave @joefairless @christopherhunter My pleasure and thank you for paying your taxes!

@aliboone Thanks I will continue expanding my knowledge.

@ChuckHolland Semper Fi! If it wasn't for my job that I have lined up here as a military contractor I would move. My wife is also not to happy about the thought of moving away from family.

Hello BP!

I am currently an active duty Marine looking to invest in Multifamily homes in California. Yesterday I bought and read The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing, and was hooked! I am now reading my second book on buying and renting.

I plan on using my VA loan to purchase a duplex or triplex in Southern California and keeping a unit for my wife and I and renting out the other unit. However, after reading through the forum I keep seeing posts about investing outside of California. I am open to that decision but confused on where to start? Or should I go with my first option? I'm afraid that if I do invest outside of California and no one rents the property I am stuck paying for my home here and in another state.

Thank you.
