When choosing your next career after the military, should you follow your passion or follow the money? Here are some ideas I wrote for the Military Times on how to wrestle with these two opposing concepts. For those that have made the leap, which direction did you go? Did you make the right call or would you have done things differently in hindsight? #transitioningmilitary #veteranshelpingveterans #militarytransition

We recently taught our 118th LinkedIN Workshop for transitioning servicemembers and spouses from MacDill AFB. It was held on Sept. 23rd at St. Leo University's Education Center in Tampa. Special thanks to our Lunch Sponsors, Jason Conner, MAJ USA(ret) and Rick Foxx from Florida's VA Mortgage Center! Nancy Laine led an interview starting out with asking Jason how he has used his loan for his own properties, and Rick provided information about lenders and processes. It concluded with a very informative Q&A from the servicemembers on how to use a VA loan, the myths and misconceptions, etc. One highlight was about limits. There is no limit imposed by the VA anymore. If you qualify, you qualify. For example, a $2M purchase means you won’t pay a $400k down payment in some cases. It was crystal clear how much interest our attendees had in the subject of VA Loans -- they started asking questions before we had finished our interview! Thanks sincerely Jason and Rick for acting as an advocate on their behalf! ?? #transitioningmilitary #careertransition #Linkedintip #vamortgageloans #macdillafb #tampa
