@Mark Gibbs Thanks for sharing this! This was rather comprehensive and insightful.
Do you mind me asking where/how you found this note? Was it through a note fund or did you reach out to a local bank?

Several years ago we were looking for a new market to invest in.
For us, the water street project was a contributing factor for us choosing to invest in Tampa Bay.
If you invest where the big players are building you're more likely to do well.
Starbucks sets up shop in areas that are growing. Our properties are always close to one.
This is fantastic advice! Thanks for this!

Hey @Peter Grange welcome to Tampa!
Here are some of the meet ups that I have attend:
- Larry Harbolt's Monday RE meet up - it's at a Hibachi Buffet - price for the meeting is a couple bucks for a drink or a buffet price of ~$10.95 (I don't remember the exact cost). It happens every Monday like clockwork.
- Tampa REIA Main Monthly Meeting - this one costs $20 / visit or the $100 annual fee. They have lots of guest speakers, vendors and networking opportunities. They meet every 2nd Tuesday of the month.
- Creative Real Estate Exchangers - This one happens every Thursday morning.
I've hyperlinked each one to their meetup page. I found them via meetup as well. There's a ton of them going on, and most of them post their meeting information - location, cost, speaker (if applicable) on the MeetUp website and app.
Hope this helps!

Congrats, @Bill Regan! I remember seeing @Ben Leybovich speak at the SF Bay Area RE Summit last year and he talked about doing this exact same thing! It was like an "a-ha" moment! It's something that I'm looking forward to doing in the future.
Clearwater is an awesome location. I know that in St. Pete, there's been issues with zoning with AirBnB/STR have you experienced or heard about anything about any zoning issues in Clearwater?

I know that rules of thumb are not necessarily concrete investment strategies, but as a filtering criteria, does the 1% rule apply in St. Pete for MFH? I've been looking at MFH in Tampa, and it seems like the 1% rule is not viable. I'd love to hear others' experience!

@Jack Bobeck, great find! How did you find that memo? Was it available on the Jacksonville City Council's website?
