Hello everyone, I'm a freshly separated veteran looking to use my VA (Veterans Affairs) loan to begin my investment journey. I have virtually no solid foundational knowledge base and I plan on making my first purchase...

That is, we tend to use very current information to make long-term decisions, assuming that everything today will also be true tomorrow and the day after.

We have multiple doors and still find a lot of useful information.

I’m having trouble deciding where I should be looking and what metrics I should focus on when trying to make a decision on where to move.My current options are Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, and Wisconsin (where I live now).

Take the time to learn about underwriting, markets, and property management, and connect with experienced investors whenever possible, those insights will help you make confident, informed decisions as you grow your portfolio.

Wishing you continued growth, success, and peace of mind in your investment journey.Disclaimer: This message is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.

Quote from @Joshua Koeppendoerfer: I am not a part of them, but would be interested on some more information definitely!

The only thing that really went right was the decision to start and not quit when it got painful.That one decision kicked off everything I’m doing today in construction, BTR, and investing.Curious:What was YOUR first deal like?
