If you're looking to take advantage of the tax benefits as a self employed individual AND invest in alternative assets be sure the company you go with also offers that ability.   

Take advantage of military benefits like the VA loan and relocation help, and chat with a financial advisor who knows military stuff to create a solid plan for your exciting transition!
