Selecting a Location to Start with Rehab Rentals

[Dan M.]

Quick background. I am currently serving as an Officer in the Navy. My commitment is up in a year. My next job will be working out of the Gulf of Mexico work one month than having the next month off. I will be making a pretty good pay check and I want to turn that money into a real estate income future. My initial goal is start small with rehab properties. I am very mechanical and can pretty much build my own house, so rehabs will be fun. Currently I am taking my time studying and reading blogs and book. This is a great site. I am grew up in Pittsburgh PA and it is almost an ideal location. But I looking at other locations on the east coast. Mainly South FL, Jacksonville FL, Charleston SC. Being in the Navy, I kind of want to be by the water haha. Anyway I was hoping to get some good insight. Thanks
