The thickness of my skin is not indicative of my desire for community and peership outside of my own echo chamber.

@Nick Chambers Hey Nick, really appreciate you sharing this!

But if your priority is cash flow and affordability, out-of-state markets (Midwest/Southeast) usually win—lower buy-in, stronger rent-to-price ratios.For research, check census data (population/jobs), local chambers, and BP forums for boots-on-the-ground insight.

Medical marijuana is legal and vaping does zero damage to a property.  

A bipartisan bill known as the Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act (House version: H.R. 2808; Senate version: S. 1467) has passed both chambers of Congress and is now headed to the President’s desk for signingThis Amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA): Credit reporting agencies (CRAs) are prohibited from selling "trigger lead" information to third parties—unless one of the following conditions is met:The recipient is the consumer’s existing mortgage lender or servicer.The recipient is a bank or credit union with which the consumer has an existing account.The consumer has explicitly consented to receive the offer.While waiting for the law to take effect, you can reduce unwanted mortgage offers now by:Opting out of prescreened credit offers via OptOutPrescreen.com.Registering with the National Do‑Not‑Call Registry (via donotcall.gov)

The Tampa market is better this spring than last and my theory is the lack of news coverage, fast recovery and good PR by local chamber of commerce saved the day here. 

Let me know what you think.As a matter of information, smoking/vaping is prohibited inside our rental units.

All that does is create completely worthless echo chambers like reddit.
