Tampa/Lakeland Area Investors out there?
Hi! I'm new to Bigger Pockets. We just moved to Lakeland FL and I work in Tampa as an interior designer. We have one rental in Jacksonville FL and are waiting on the Rental assistance program to kick in for our tenant who hasn't paid her rent in about 5 months. Once the money comes in I am trying to decide if I should either sell that property and start over (I'll have about 90-100k) to possibly buy two properties, or should I go ahead and do a cash out refi and keep the property. I am working on applying for section 8 for the property right now thinking that may be easier than eviction for this current tenant who is not paying. Would love thoughts and would also like to know if there are any Tampa/Lakeland people in here? Thanks!
