New investor Looking for Buy and Hold SFH in Pensacola/Milton/Pac

[Ricky Desai]

My wife and I are making the plunge into real estate investing while we are stationed here for the next two years. We are looking to buy, rehab, and live in a SFH in either Pensacola, Milton, or Pace. We would like for it to be a long term cash flowing rental. I have been seeing that East Hill, North Hill, Downtown, Cordova Place, and Pace are all good areas to look at. Anyone have any other advice/tips? I'd love to hear any ones' experiences here!
