We always knew we wanted to invest in real estate.  Both of our families have real estate investments and we were interested in buying income producing rental properties as soon as we had the opportunity.

When we were first married, Chris was serving as a Naval Officer and we had the opportunity to experience the adventure of military life.  We saw various parts of the world and lived all over the country. When we weren’t busy joy-riding nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines, we learned that some of our more experienced Wardroom friends would purchase a house at each new duty station, and then convert the property to a rental when the Navy moved them to their next duty station.  This opened our minds to investing in remote markets, and through our research we discovered that certain markets had more opportunities for strong income producing investments.
