@Nick Harvey, Not necessarily, if anyone happens to be local to me that would be great of course. But, mainly just looking for people to start a group where we can discuss our goals together and maybe do weekly calls or video chats to help hold each other accountable towards reaching our real estate goals.

Hello fellow investors,

I am looking to start a mastermind group with other like minded individuals to discuss our future goals, network, and to hold each other accountable. If anyone is interested or doesn't mind me joining their group please let me know. Thank you.

@Clay Lehman Thank you so much, this is all very valuable information. Do you mind if we connect in case I have any questions in the future pertaining to the market?

Hello Everyone,

 I plan on moving back to Ocala, FL to look for single family/multifamily homes, preferably multifamily, as a long term rental. I'd like to get some feedback as far as how the market is over there?  Is the Ocala area a good place for long term rentals? Are there any group chats or pages that post local meetups? Also, I am open to networking.  

Post: Multi-Family using VA home loan

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Bigger Pockets, I am 22 yrs old and soon to be U.S Navy vet! My plan is to look for single family/multifamily homes, preferably multifamily, as a long term rental. My plan would be to use my VA home loan for either a duplex or triplex so I can take advantage of paying 0% down and so that I can scale up a lot quicker by having more units. I know that with the VA home loan, whatever property I decide to purchase it will become my primary residence and that I will have to stay there for at least a year. However, I will be moving back in with my parents primarily to save more money. Could I technically just claim the rental as my primary residence even though I am living with my parents and just rent out all of the units? Is there anyone that has done this before? If not, any suggestions as to what I should do as first time investor and new home buyer? Any input or guidance will be very helpful. Thank you, and I am looking forward to networking and getting to know more about real estate investing.

Thank you, that definitely sounds like a great option to do. I will have to look into other areas, perhaps one of the more bigger cities in Florida like Jacksonville.
