@Account Closed I am in the Tampa market, and have come across a handful of turn key rentals and rental opportunities. I would love to help out with any questions that you may have pertaining this market. Are you looking for rentals to purchase? Look forward to hearing from you.

@Becky Rodriguez Try attending different groups, and see which ones relate best with your interests. There are so many out there.

@Adrian Smude I do hope to run into you at one of them. I like to try to attend 4-6 new ones a month. Which ones do you frequent? What are you currently focusing on?

@Veronica Zayas The journey of a thousand miles, starts with the first step. That is what you are doing, taking the initiative to look and begin. Having invested personally and working daily in this market; Tampa has a lot of potential and an untapped area for investors. I have a lot of double digit returns on the properties that have come across my desk. If you have any questions on this particular market; feel free to reach out. Much success to your investing endeavors.

@Becky Rodriguez Hello, and welcome to the community. Yes, there are plenty of groups out there allocated to investors. There is the TBREIA, SREIA and many others. Try looking on meetup.com and you can find lists of groups that meetup in different areas, days and times. I do hope to run into each other at one of them. Best of luck...

@Quinton Oake, I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation. Sometimes life delivers a crazy hand that we are dealt. I understand the importance of building your wealth, but have you considered selling the property?

@Tynessa Franks, there is a decent inventory of SFR multi-units. There are communities that cater to the buy and hold strategy. It may seem as if the Tampa area is busy; but being on the streets daily; only a fraction of the market has been touched. Lots of opportunity for fix and flips and buy and holds. PM me I can show you some examples.

@Joseph Mceneaney  First, congratulations for making the decision to get involved. The next step would be to take the action to do so. I must say the Tampa area is a great market for a vacation home. I have been in the Tampa area now for two years, coming from Orlando. The market is very different. There is a lot of buy and hold potential here in Tampa.  A perk is your just minutes from the beach, and within close proximity of Central and South FL. Just my opinion. Best of luck to your endeavors. 

@Alex Balan You have the right idea looking around the corner for deals. The Tampa market is very hot right now. I see plenty of properties under $100k that cash flow on the higher end. I just picked up one for $60,000, put $17,000 into repairs. Now it rents for $1,100 mo; with an ARV of $140,000. I see deals like this all the time. The properties are out there, you just have to keep your eyes open for these deals. Keep us posted on what you find out there.

@Larry Christian It would be best to look at the available inventory and maybe some current projects in the works. I have a couple of projects being rehabbed, so you ever want to stop by, PM me and I would love to show you what we have going on. Hope you both enjoy your trip. Much success to your investing endeavors.
