Welcome, @Matt Konopka,

I am also a newer investor here in the Tampa market. I second @Marlen Weber the podcasts are a great way to help get the right idea when it comes to investing in Real Estate you will learn many ways to be successful with Real Estate Investing. 

 Yes, it seems like every street named MLK is one you want to stay away from haha and I had noticed near the casino seemed to be more intact with a newer construction retail center near the Wawa on the corner of Orient and Hillsborough Ave, which showed me that there could be potential for a residential opportunity nearby. I will definitely keep those parameters when looking at properties in that vicinity,

Thank You again, Edgar.

 Hi Zak,

I am currently looking in the same Sub Markets as Tampa as become very dry due to the inventory being swooped up, I recommend contacting an Agent that works well with investors especially ones that may get word of Off-Market opportunities. Best of luck, let me know if you happen to come across anything I am actively looking to grow my portfolio, Thanks Zak

Hi Edgar,

With regards to the East Tampa quadrant what streets should investors focus on in that area and what areas would you recommend we steer clear of? Thank You, Edgar

Hey BP Community,

Can Hard Money Lenders be Utilized to successfully do a Wholetail strategy? If not what creative ways do you think would be suitable to successfully carryout a Wholetail opportunity?

Example Below:

Purchase= $100,000

Rehab = $1,000-$5,000 (Enough to be presetable)

List/Sell on MLS for $125,000

Thank You all again!

Hi, What type of properties are you looking to Fix n Flip? And do you have experience with Flipping in the Tampa market? Id love to connect and possibly work together on projects.

Hey, @Mark Dutton, I am also actively looking in the Tampa Market. The biggest factor is definitely the location, in my opinion, East Tampa is mostly C class properties which in recessions typically work better than B and A class neighborhoods. Also when starting out I would stay away from homes that need Cap-Ex (Roof, Plumbing, Electrical work). Are you working with any Agents or Wholesalers to help find you a deal?

Hey, @Joshua Szentes I am currently looking for a project and I'm going with the Hard Money route, although the terms seem intimidating its really just funding to get you into the deal. Depending on your exit strategy you most likely are only using the HML for a few months. What type of property are you looking to pickup?

Congratulations on locking up a deal, I would look into a Private Money Lender or even a Hard Money Lender. I don't know if using most of the equity in your personal residence during these times, but it is still a viable option if PML and HML don't work out in your favor. Best of Luck!

Hey BiggerPockets community, I am a new investor in the Tampa Bay area I was looking to connect with other individuals that are in Real Estate Investing to connect with. Are there any real estate investing meet ups in person or virtual? Thank you everyone.
