Investing In Real Estate While On Active Duty
One soldier who served in the Army and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011–12 told Realtor.com how he managed to buy five homes in five years and eventually kick off a new career in real estate investing. When he'd move to a new base, he didn't sell the home, he rented it out. "I bought five homes in five years,"he explained. He had purchased his first house while stationed in Fort Sill, OK. A year later, he moved to Fort Hood and used income from his For Sill house to pay his first mortgage. He repeated the pattern with each relocation.
