Tampa, FL Based Investor and New Member Introduction

[Matthew Steve]

Hello! I am a long-time real estate investor focused on acquiring distressed single family and small multi-family properties in the Tampa, FL market. I made my first investment in 2013 while living in Pittsburgh, PA but have since moved to Tampa, FL where I continue to acquire properties. I focus on the BRRR strategy with a long-term buy and hold approach. Over the years, I have continued to self-manage my portfolio and I'm always looking for advice and best practices from other self-managers. I very much enjoy the BP community and look forward to growing my network.

Hi Matthew, 

Welcome to Tampa. Fellow investor here (and mortgage broker). There's some great meet ups in the area if you want to connect with locals. 

TBREIA: This group runs a main meeting once a month in Tampa and holds smaller meetups throughout the month. It’s geared more toward beginner investors. There is a membership fee to attend, but your first meeting is free. Visit TBREIA

Multifamily & More: This group meets in Ybor, Tampa, on the last Tuesday of each month. Their focus is primarily on larger multifamily properties. The four founders are incredible and attract a fantastic group! Visit Multifamily & More

The Elite Investor: Hosted by James Lascara, a strong leader in the real estate community. He draws in a great group of investors and also founded the Elite Investors Mindset Group, one of the largest local RE masterminds. Hosts once a quarter at Hyde House in Hyde Park, Tampa.
