Moving near Pensacola Florida, looking for properties and insight

[Kristopher Kelly]

Hello All,

I am in the military and have started my investing career up in the northeast. I am getting orders to northwestern Florida in about nine months. I want to continue investing in properties once down there. I was wondering if anyone is around the Pennsicola through the Destin area. I will be stationed near Hurlburt field. What are the nice areas around here and what does it look like down there? What do the properties consist of? A lot of multis? I have been seeing a lot of trailers in this area but I have only started looking.

In Pensacola, 150k seems to be a consistent price for a small duplex with 2 bed 1 bath per unit for like  a C Class area.   Nicer areas would be closer to downtown or up north around I 10.  Pace and Milton are upcoming as well.  I would look to The Erik Hansen team with Keller Williams for Short Term Rental Management.    I could also refer you a few property managers to review if that's something you are interested in for long term rentals.   Join the Professional Investors Guild for access to most of the wholesaler's sharing off market deals.   Although they usually want cash and to close quickly.   The group is one of the best I have seen, has an active Facebook group, and meets monthly with about 50-100 members at the meeting.
