New Investor getting started in Tampa, FL

[Sam Lenderman]

Hello BP!

I'm Sam Lenderman, a new investor living in Tampa, Florida. I've lived down here for about a year and I work as an aerospace engineer at a defense company. I joined BP last year after stumbling across a house-hacking blog on here and becoming obsessed with getting someone else to pay the mortgage.

Long-term, I would like to focus my investment in single and multifamily buy and hold properties. Right now, I'm looking to do my first deal somewhere in Florida, preferably in the Tampa Bay area.

Looking forward to engaging with everyone on the site!
