New to Bigger Pockets

[Patrick Brown]

Good Afternoon Everyone!

My name is Patrick! I live in Temple Terrace, FL. Right next door to Tampa. I'm looking to invest in the Tampa Bay market or surrounding counties in the near future. The strategy I want to pursue is long term rentals to start out with. I'm looking to network with agents, CPAs, other long term investors, and real estate attorneys.

I hope everyone enjoys their week!

Networking with local agents, CPAs, experienced investors, and real estate attorneys will be crucial as you navigate property selection, tax planning, and legal considerations. Engaging with the right team will set you up for success and long-term growth.

Wishing you the best as you build out your network and pursue your investments. If you ever need assistance with financing options or insights into investment strategies, I’m here to help. Enjoy your week, and happy investing!
