Active Duty Military
Recently used my VA loan to buy a property where I am stationed, (Active Duty, Hawaii). My contract ends next year and I am looking to invest full-time-this is what I want to do with my life. Any tips/advice from veterans or active duty in my shoes? I'm not entirely sure where to start. I'm reading books that I bought from this site and listening to podcasts. Thanks in advance!

Congratulations on making the leap into REI. I would recommend focusing on networking. I am part of a veteran and military mastermind group called the War Room, if you are interested?
Sincerely,
Joshua
