A smart seller/listing agent will likely require a large EMD to tie you to performing on your offer, so be prepared for that. 

This $100,000 would be taxed at the applicable capital gains tax rate (0%–20% federally, depending on income) and subject to depreciation recapture at a maximum rate of 25%.

I am looking to grow my buy and hold rental portfolio and would love to network with other investors/agents/wholesalers etc.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am an investor and real estate agent in Gulf Shores / Orange Beach and would be glad to help in anyway that I can. 

Connect with other investors, agents, and property managers to get a feel for the area and learn from their experiences.Are you thinking about house hacking or just straight-up rentals for now?

With the help of an investor-friendly agent How did you finance this deal?

Will get overseas Federal housing or BAH around $30,000 tax free per year. 

We'd love any introductions and support from other investors, agents, lenders, or contractors in the area.Thanks,Mike

Our lot is fenced in and we cannot see where he lives but close enough to be of concern, but we want to stay in the same town until the kids are finished school.So, my question is this, would it make sense to rent our home (roughly $2300-2500/mo. as per real-estate agent claims), with the stipulation that the garage is used for my business AND buy a home nearby?
