Hey Raymond, I live and invest in Tampa Bay. Would love to connect!

Hey Bryce, I have a brokerage in Tampa and we are quite flexible with our structure. We work with a lot of investors and would be happy to walk you through a few deals. PM me if you're interested in talking further!

Rocket Title services in Tampa should be able to take care of that for you, I have used them for closings in other counties on blind side closings, double closes, and assignments. Always a great smooth experience.

@Eric Hine Hey Eric, I’m a broker in Tampa and

own multiple STR's myself. I help a lot of clients especially out of state ones find STR's in the area while navigating the process. I know the area very well and would love to connect!

First you will identify the tax free states. Then it will come down to your personal preference based on hobbies, climate, culture, and opportunities in the area. Once that is established you can figure out which metro has a strong selection of multi family or house hackable properties. I personally live and house hack in Tampa Fl and really love it because there are endless things to do being on the coast and having the city as well, but I really enjoy that there are thousands of entrepreneurs and business owners in my area and it is very easy to meet like minded people.

Hey Noah, owner financing could be a great option for you. Not sure the legality with your age but to be honest almost no sellers who provide owner finance are going to run a credit check on you. The other option would be a co signer for now. Even at 17 you have many options to purchase a property. 

@Collin Ordonez Hey Collin, after 1998 Florida passed a lot of laws surrounding building codes when hurricane Michael destroyed a lot of homes. In Tampa if you are concerned about hurricanes a well built concrete block home would be a great purchase. You will also want to pay attention to if the property is in a flood zone and the elevation of the property as well as the age of the roof, condition of the windows, doors, and foundation. This will help reduce your chances of being hit, Tampa has not been hit by a major hurricane in over 100 years but these would be the items to look out for. As far as insurance it’s definitely risen but even with the last hurricane that came through Florida there are still affordable policies. I house hack myself personally and own a brokerage in tampa where we work with a lot of house hackers, shoot me a message if you ever have any other questions.

@Abraham Cisneros have key info you need to capture, what I like to do is get in front of their face if I know the deal is solid. If I can get them to coffee or at the property to discuss, my likelihood of getting that property goes up 10x.

@Ty Brady hey Ty, I have a guy who lends his own personal capital in the tampa area, real straight up guy easy to work with. Let me know if you’re interested, shoot me a dm.

@Alex Araujo Hey Alex, I run different campaigns for a lot of off market property in Tampa. I own Airbnb properties myself, would love to connect.
