Meet up groups/Using VA loan for investment property

[RaShandra Collins]

Good morning BiggerPockets family! My name is RaShandra (ra-shawn-dra) from Texas currently living in Savannah by way of the army. Been married for seven years and have a beautiful blended family. I have been a pro member for quite some time trying to learn and understand the real estate game. After a few years of research I would like to start with rehabs (seems to be the easiest way to get your foot in the door as a newbie). Looking for a mentor and/or to get connected with other local investors, are there any real estate meet up groups in the Savannah, GA area? I signed up for a group but it is based in Atlanta which doesn't work for me.

Also, my husband is in the Army and we used the VA loan for our primary residence. Just wondering, is any way that we could use the VA loan towards a second property/investment property? There has been some changes that have taken place with how the loan can be used and I would love it if we could use that as an option.

Thanks in advance for the help and I look forward to learning from everyone!
