I considered buying in the Panhandle area (Fort Walton Beach, West Panama City Beach, Navarre Beach) and talked to an agent about 18 months ago.

If you are an agent focus on finding buyers and sellers.

You should ensure the docs are drafted up by an attorney and/or title agent to ensure compliance, as well as the closing. 

For context, I am a full time real estate agent and investor in Connecticut.

I was looking for some questions to ask when interviewing agents to work with.

Make sure you find an investor-friendly agent + attorney.

if she is, she has no tenant rights and can be evicted quickly (on a Federal level, state or local level may have different rules).

I feel like I had gotten my team set-up, a young aggressive real estate agent who owns rental properties himself and buys foreclosures and repo's himself, a solid lender, cpa/book keeper. 

That’s somewhat helpful, thought the fact that you are a licensed agent isn’t gonna help You either

I watched the showings and checked in with the agent frequently, they weren't getting serious interest in the first few days it was on the market.
