Hello all,

As stated in my title, I'm recently retired from the US Army and looking to start a new career as a real estate investor. I have a day job (I'm a government contractor) but I currently work from home and essentially set my own hours which means I have ample time to study real estate investing strategies and hunt for deals. I'm currently focused on building my capital and studying the business before jumping in. My goal is to get to the point where I am flipping houses as a day job to fund my investment properties (rentals). My wife is working toward her real estate agents license and plans to start a property management company (managing other peoples properties as well as our investment properties) as well as using her license to help find deals and to sell our flipped homes. 

I'm new to the area and hoping to network with other investors. I look forward to engaging the Bigger Pockets community and learning from the group. With luck I'll get to a point where I have some wisdom of my own to share. If anybody in the area want to grab a cup of coffee or a cold beer just give me a holler.

Mike
