Hey Rob, fellow investor in Tampa. Would love to connect.

Inboxed

I own an investment focused brokerage in Tampa called Big Guava Realty. We primarily focus on working with buyers and sellers for residential as well as commerical property. We source most of our leads off market and often times use a wholesaling exit strategy, where other properties we list on the market.

I'm seeking new agents to join my brokerage, I'm an investor myself so I'm willing to help guide them and share all my insight from different deals I have worked on. If you are interested or know someone who may be interested in joining/switching brokerages please reach out. We are all easy going, positive minded, and have a love for investment properties.

@Nadia Daggett hey Nadia, I’d love to connect. I’m a broker and investor located in Tampa.

Hey Bryce, reach out to @Sarah Meres. She has personally closed loans for me and clients of mine. Always a smooth and professional process!

Angie I say this often, the best market to invest in is the market where you have the best team and resources. Of course tax benefits, appreciation, employment, growth etc matter and all the cities you listed meet that criteria, but the main factor that will make or break your success is your boots on the ground team. Wherever you can put together the best team is where you will be most successful, so I would focus on building that rather than deciding based on a tool. 

Hey Amit, are you looking at just traditional rentals or short term rentals as well? How about commerical real estate? With that cash you can get into something cash flowing in the greater Tampa area. It's never too late, when you get creative you can find deals.

I would check out Pasco and Polk county.

Hey Dylan, I know of a broker who is quite experienced with section 8 tenants and he just helped an investor in a similar position boost his cash flow quite a bit by converting over to section 8. Feel free to DM me if you want me to connect you guys. 

Hey Kevin, I'm a broker, investor and soon to be contractor in Tampa. I have flipped several homes myself and own multiple rentals. Id love to discuss when you have some time, feel free to DM me and we can chat more in depth.
