@Jill Young I may have a product that can work for you depending on the property specifics. 

@Stephen Patton, welcome to the forums! If you are looking for proper guidance from someone that has house hacked quite a few times and has the knowledge and experience to help get you going in the right direction, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green. He is our local expert realtor and real estate investor! 

@Kris L. if you are looking to make one last comparison, I would see what @Josh Green can help bring to the table. He's definitely one of the best agents I've worked with. 

Hey @Keyshawn Johnson, reach out to @Lake Lutes. He is also in the service, is an investor and also an investor focused agent in your area. I know he will be able to give you the proper guidance that you need in order to make a sound decision. Also feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

@Darian Richardson feel free to reach out

Reach out to Jake Trimble with Brightway or Sara Santangelo with Goosehead. Feel free to message me and i'll share their contact info with you!

If you close with a conventional loan, it will need to be in your personal name. Fannie mae allows you to transfer your loan into an LLC, but it is recommended that you speak to your loan servicer and ask that if they themselves will allow you to do so. If you would like to avoid that process, then you can either close with a portfolio loan or DSCR, and just vest title in your LLC from the beginning @Lau Cor. 

@Laurens Van swol a few banks that we've worked with in the past allow you to close in your personal name. Happy to share some contacts with you. Feel free to reach out! 

@Trevor McCormick I would say that it is an okay market but is very saturated and alot of investors are having a tough time right now. Especially if you are hiring property management. Not to say you cannot do well, but it’ll take some extra TLC. @Shawn McCormick is local to the area and can share some of his experiences. 

A little bit off to the west is also a solid market where you can find some success in the Tampa Bay Area. @Josh Green is the local expert there. 

@Renato Fruggiero what is your interest in the market with regard to investing? To build new construction?
