Hello everyone, I am Jose Rivera from Florida. I served 5 years in the Marine Corps as a Military Working Dog handler/trainer and still do this job with the same dog as a civilian. I have 0% experience in real estate.

I currently live in California and I'm looking to relocate back to my home estate where I plan to get involved in real estate on the side as I continue my passion in training dogs.

Welcome to the forum.  I'm a newbie like you but I've been studying for a couple months now and will be closing my first deal soon.  Like you I am from the central FL area and one of the best pieces of advice I can give you is to get off the beaten path a bit.  All the areas that are nice and touristy are going to have huge bloated costs that will negate a lot of your profits.  Don't be afraid to look in the slummier areas.
