Hey all!

I'm fresh out of college and just got down to beautiful Pensacola to start training with the Navy. I've always loved the idea of REI but always figured it was either too difficult to compete or only for the rich. Have had a lot of time on my hands lately and have been using that to absolutely soak up as much information as possible through books, podcasts, and the BP forum. My mentality has completely changed and I can't wait to make my first purchase and begin the real estate journey.

I'm already grateful that I've come across this forum and all this information at a relatively young age and I'm ready to jump in and start learning from hands-on mistakes. I can't wait to get to know you guys and maybe start connecting with locals in Pensacola and doing meet-ups once things start opening back up. 

Right now I'm definitely most interested in House Hacking but unfortunately it looks like there's not many Multi-Families to chose from (at least on Realtor, Zillow, Trulia) here in Pensacola. It's looking like I might have to instead resort to a SFH and rent out the other rooms for the time being. I'd say my next step is to start getting in contact with local wholesalers or realtors to see if the MLS has any available that I don't have access to or to try some off-market lead acquiring techniques. Either way just trying to analyze as many deals as possible to get in the practice for when a good one hits.

Look forward to hearing from you guys!
