New investor in Pensacola/Milton/Pace Florida

[Anne Laurenzi]

Hi everybody. Just want to introduce myself to the BP community. I am a search and rescue/EMS helicopter pilot for the offshore oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico. My 2 weeks on/2 weeks off schedule allows me to live in the Pensacola (Milton) area with my wife. We are looking for ways to boost our income and flipping and rental properties look like a great investment. The market for my area looks to be growing due to the schools in my county (Santa Rosa) being some of the top rated in the state with a lot of people relocating out of the neighboring counties into ours. 
I have been doing a lot of research and reading (mostly on BP) and I actually have gone and looked at a few potential flip properties and am now doing my research to make it happen. 
I look forward to picking everybody's brain and soaking all the knowledge and experience that I can out of the BP community. I plan on attending some local real estate group meetings and look forward to meeting others in my area. Any and all support would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike Laurenzi
