Newbie in Ft Lauderdale-Hollywood, FL! Let's connect!

[Cherise Bentosino]

Hello! I've recently moved to South Florida all the way from California's SF Bay Area. I'm totally new to real estate and am hoping to meet and connect with like-minded people in my area.

I'm an active duty military member, so if anyone has any experience with how I can use my status (VA Loan, BAH, etc) to improve my REI, please let me know!

My current goal is to buy a primary residence (single-family or duplex) with the intention to turn into a long-term rental for >10% CoCROI.
