I am single naval CEC officer and will be living in Pensacola for the next two years. I am coming from GTMO and am looking to buy a place in the area. I have furniture of my own in storage so I don't need a place that is already furnished. Googling and calling up realtors is getting tiresome for me since most of the properties that caught my eye are short sales with the outgoing owners pulling out and selling the major appliances to cover their losses. Does anyone have any recommendations or properties for sale. I am also considering renting for 6 months before buying so I can have a better understanding of the market down here. I appreciate good feedback, thanks.
