Advice/solutions to better my profile as well as bank

[Earl Jefferson]

Hi everyone,

Currently I'm serving in the military, deployed. When it's time to depart, I should've earned around $30K to do what I want, investing wise. I joined the military to have the opportunity to move around, as well as use my VA loan to purchase/rent out houses but in California, the opportunity is only there if you want to pay a lot for little. Also, I've grown to hate being away from family, I've deployed back to back already, while feeling like I'm making a basic paycheck monthly. So I'm asking, is there a good avenue to invest my money somewhere? Something that can set me up to where if I wanted to, I could walk away from the military with no regrets. I'm truly lost when I look up wholesaling real estate, I wouldn't mind being the " investor ", to loan out physical money in hopes to receive profit, but any tips would be great. Thanks.
