Like most major metro cities it has a wide variety of opportunity but a shortage of affordable housing, much lower costs of entry and lower avg DOMs across the bed counts relative to other major cities. 

With entry prices So high in Delray Beach and Boca Raton ... it’s one of the best ways if not the very best way to get started! 

Some things I have changed in my underwriting:0% rent growth in the first two yearsIncreased exit cap rate (+100 bps from entry cap rate)Increase in economic vacancy

In my state, there's a 24-hour notice required from the landlord before entry, but in the event of ''my toiled is leaking and I need you to fix it right now" and with the tenant present during the repair, I noticed that the door jamb was damaged as if someone kicked in the bathroom door.

You don't even have a right to entry (not typically), let alone renovate.

As a first time home buyer you will be able to qualify for very low down payment so the barrier to entry isn't much and having others help pay your mortgage has some pretty distinct advantages, too.

However, I've been interested in tapping into the Pensacola market because it seems to be a lower cost of entry than continuing to spend large amounts of capital in the Destin area.  

@Dajuan Taylor I'm not familiar with the Augusta market, but if the rent justifies the purchase price and cost of repairs I think it could be a good entry into investing.

Low barrier to entry, >100% ROI, cash flow and in a nice neighborhood.

Is it even entry-level?
