Brand New Florida Panhandle Investor

[Keith Ravenel]

Hey BP! I'm a new investor out of Navarre, FL. Last month, I retired from 24 years of active duty service in the Air Force and now I'm looking to start purchasing some rental properties between Destin and Pensacola. I was set on purchasing a 3/1 SFH in Pensacola, but I've recently been given an opportunity to purchase a condo in Destin. The condo would generate more STR income during the summer and spring break periods, but I'm not sure I want to deal with HOA. Any advice for this new investor?
