I’m in the coast guard and moving to South Florida, West palm beach, lake Worth, Jupiter area.

Yes for all types of properties - both single families and multifamily property taxes will increase the following year based on the purchase price you bought it at - I would check with your city auditor site to estimate how much your taxes will increase by so you're not caught off guard - you should be doing this before buying any house!

That way you are not caught off guard.

Since HELOCs have adjustable rates they will often catch people off guard when they adjust.

Always keep your guard up when dealing with agents!  

You need to be your own advocate and on guard the whole way through now.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that almost no one travels to Hawaii with their own vehicle (I do know a Coast Guard family stationed there for 2 years that did take their own vehicle).

Other considerations:I wouldn’t be able to use remaining VA entitlement anywhere else with 0% down (except other very high cost of living areas).Extension not guaranteed but I’m in the guard so I have a lot more flexibility/freedom than active duty in where I want to live/work.More affordable condos ($520-550k range) are an option (typically no/limited guest parking, fewer amenities, etc).

I would put some kind of splash guard on the wall beside the stove for easy clean up.

There seems to be a "changing of the guard" right now with older investors cashing out and retiring and a new fresh wave of investors coming in.
