PCSing to Pensacola - What's a good area?

[Tyler Hall]

I am active duty military and I will be PCSing to NAS Pensacola, hopefully, within the next 6-12 mos. I will be attending training there that lasts roughly 12 months. My wife and I are looking at buying a property that we can live in and fix up (cosmetically) and then either rent it out as a standard SFH or as a short term rental.

I am interested in see what other professionals have seen as good areas to invest in, what the average rents you are currently seeing for 3/2 roughly 1500sqft homes. What is the AirBNB market looking like? Are there any restrictions, etc.

Looking for some general feedback on the area!

Thanks!
