Thank you all for the welcome.

@Rob Scarborough - The school here for majors lasts about a year.  I had four friends show up the last month and only one lives on post. Rents are relatively high in leavenworth, usually based on what MAJs make on BAH (basic allowance for housing) about $1800 a month.

@Brandon Turner - It was your videos on Youtube that brought me to the website. Thanks for the great information. I read the Ultimate Beginners Guide and I'm slowly going through the podcasts. I can't believe everyone doesn't listen. I will definitely check out the multi-unit report.

@Joe Fairless - Thank you for thanking me. I always get a little embarrassed when someone thanks me for being in the Army. I hope all is well with your brother. The military is no longer a growth industry. I will reach out to @william robinson.

@Edward Synicky  - I appreciate the advice on networking. This coming from an experienced investor I will focus on networking. The MEET link is a great resource.

@Nathan Brooks - I'm looking all over KC right now. Just trying to learn the market. It seems like there are a lot of good deals in the area.

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on the site for the last few weeks. I can't tell you how many videos I've watched in that time period. I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their experience and knowledge.  It's incredible the amount of information available on this site. Real estate is thoroughly addicting.

I'm currently in the Army, but I'm beginning my transition to retirement. My brother and I formed a LLC to start buying rental properties. He is in Washington State and I'm in KC. He is a pizza franchise owner in Seattle.

We are focusing on multi-family units. Our goal is have enough income from rental property to retire comfortably. We are looking to close an all cash deal within the next 30 days and maybe buy one more property by the end of the year.  I love learning about real estate, so any help or useful advice is always appreciated!

Thanks,

Shannon
