Hey Guys , I am planning to move to Tampa, FL area.

I would like to buy a property that I can rent out after I decide to move.

I wonder what type of property rents out the most.

I would like to buy a single home 4 bed,2 - bath. Do you know if this is a good buy comparing to a condo type of property?

Let me know your thoughts. I will take any advice and all !

Hey Krystof, 

It all depends on your goal. Alot of things go into consideration when talking about investment properties...Location, amount of repairs, roi's, price, etc..I'm an investor here in the Tampa area as well as a licensed real estate agent. Feel free me message me if you need help finding the perfect investment property!

    Hey @Krystof Pilisiewicz 

    Right now, the simple 4/2 single family in most B and A residential areas will be hard to cash flow after you move out. Simply, prices outweigh the rental income you will receive. That is unless you do some sort of value add such as purchasing a home that needs work at a below average price, buying in a growing area, or adding square footage through a garage addition, etc. 

    SFs do tend to appreciate more than condos. You can find some condos in good areas as well. If you are looking for long term appreciation, single family is the play. For rent, it is really on a case by case basis and very location specific. 

    Please feel free to reach out if you need any more advice!

    @Edgar Rodriguez good to know. My plan is to buy the house now, live there a minimum one year and see what’s next.

    From my calculation, I think I will be paying around $1,900-2,000 per month for mortage and escroll.

    Do you know how much 4-bed,2- bath will rent in the area Lake Tarpon? I want to buy something in that area.

    @Krystof Pilisiewicz It depends on price, size, and location. If you're looking at around a 1900 payment for FHA, you are probably around 300k or so. That would probably get you a house close to 2000 sq ft. Rents in those areas is probably around 1600-1800 a month.

    find an older 2/1 where you can add a bed and bath. if not, buy a 3/2 and you can rent it no problem.
