Ready to Start, Unsure of How
Hey everyone!
I joined bigger pockets when I was deployed and got very into learning about real estate during my deployment. To make a long story short, I am now home and a service connected veteran out of the military. I have only had one property before, a single family, which was an experience with ALOT of lessons and growing pains. I still believe that this is the best way to continue to invest in my future and build wealth for family (when I decide to start that chapter). The market right now along with past experiences and some confusion have me very hesitant. Any advice?
Thank you everyone!

@Tesho Akindele Thank you for the advice! I'm actually moving to Florida in December now that I'm out of the service. I was leaning towards using my VA home loan to house hack.
