First Time Investor- Pensacola Florida Area

Member since 2021 · 1 post · 1 vote

Greetings. My name is Matthew Agrusti. I am 21 years old and looking to start my investing journey in a couple of months. I am in the Marine Corps and will be moving down to Pensacola in around 8 months for flight school. I plan on buying, rehabbing, and renting a property and am looking to meet others that may have investments in this area. Thank you!

Welcome to the community! 

I'd recommend using the networking tools here on BP, FB groups focused on investing, and the Meetup website. Good luck to you and let me know if you have any questions along the way!

    Matthew,

    Welcome! You'll love Pensacola and being here for flight school! I actually used to teach the Introductory Flight Screening (IFS) program in Milton and have had the opportunity to meet and train lots of flight students like yourself. It's a great place to do training. I personally am new to BP but have invested locally in the STR vacation rental condos on the beach. I'm diversifying myself and looking to get into single/multi family LTRs to grow a more robust portfolio. I am currently a Realtor in Pensacola with Gulf Coast Home Experts and would be glad to assist you in looking for properties/sharing ideas/networking/etc. Feel free to reach out and I hope we can connect to help each other.
