Newbie from Pensacola, Fl.

[Blake Woodham]

Hello all!

I am Blake, originally from Jacksonville Fl but now living in Pensacola Fl (for the next few months at least). I am an Active Duty Air Force officer about to complete CSO school here in Pensacola. No telling where I will be moving next....lol. I am also married with no kids.....yet.

I have always had a genuine interest in real estate investing. I currently own the home I live in here in Pensacola and have full intentions of using my VA loan to buy my next house while renting out this one. Although it is a start, I really want to buy a couple turn-key properties within the next year or so and use that income to fund the next deal. But I have a lot to learn before I just jump.

I have plans to get my real estate license in the near future just to get me more familiar with the trade and learn as much as I can.

I look forward to learning from you all and let me know if I can be of any assistance!

Welcome Blake. I'm an AF pilot and I actually went trough PCola when they still offered that for pilots. I love Pensacola! I've also lived in Destin for quite a while when I was at Hurlburt and I plan to get back down that way in the future.

I'd say get involved with an REIA clubs down that way as soon as possible just in case you get sent somewhere like Cannon where they are not available! I'm tryin to learn as well and hope to have my first deal under my belt within the next year. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions with life in the AF after training!
