Transitioning Marine needs guidance

Hello, I am a Marine getting out of the service on January 19th. I have about $170,000 in equity in a property and I am looking to relocate to either Gainesville FL, Jacksonville FL, or Nashville, TN and put that to work starting a business investing in small Multi Family’s. Can anybody give me some insight on where would be the best place to get started? Which would be the easiest location to connect with successful investors and provide value to them in exchange for mentorship? Also, If anybody happens to BE a successful investor in one of these areas, I am a 22 year old former Marine who will work day and night to make this happen if you have anything I can do for you... :) Thanks guys.

    I have not met a marine that is afraid of risk or hard work.  These two traits will carry you through and make you successful. Find a mentor in which ever location you land in.   Work for them and learn.  Keep us posted on the outcome.
