Hey BP. I am looking at properties in Pensacola, Florida. Any recommendations for VA lenders or home inspectors in the area? Thank you!

Hello BP,

We will be moving to the Pensacola area soon and we're looking to buy a house to live in (IE move in ready for the most part) and then rent out in the future . What are some good neighborhoods that we should look at? (Areas that provide cash flow, but are safe enough for a family). Any suggestions? I do know that the area around the airport/mall tends to be a better area.

Thank you! 

Hey Everyone. I'm new to real estate investing and I am looking to purchase a SFH as a rental property. I like the idea of using leverage to enhance returns, although I have been told by local agents (and wholesellers) that financial institutions are not going to work with new investors on purchasing their first property. I hope to get a good deal on the property AND use financing as means to increase returns. I've explored turnkey rentals in Jacksonville, but those properties don't match up well with the comps. Without any experience in real estate, I am looking to learn more here on BP and through networking with other investors in the area.
