Thoughts from the Seasoned BP investors/mentors pls...

[Dario Contreras]

So here is the situation:

I'm retiring from the military next year and can't really figure out what to spend my GI Bill (education benefits) on. I could pursue a Business degree or I could use my benefits to enter an apprenticeship to learn how to be a carpenter, electrician, plumber or any other trade. My ultimate goal is to become a REI, buy and hold properties for rental purposes. I also have the choice to move anywhere in Florida. With that said, I have a few questions.

1.  What route do you think I should go that would be advantageous to my goal, Business degree or apprenticeship? or anything else that would be helpful...

2. If you were starting as a new REI, where in Florida would you move in order to improve your odds for success? I currently live in Port Orange near Daytona Beach.

Thank you in advance for your guidance!
