Welcome to BP, and congrats on the progress you’ve already made.

Quote from @Kevin Poler: You’re not wrong on the math — but the framing is mixing investment underwriting with a lifestyle decision.A few thoughts:A primary residence shouldn’t be evaluated like a rental.

Hi BP folks,I’m evaluating a rental property and would appreciate some insight from investors who’ve dealt with city code compliance issues.

Having that framework first makes everything else (neighborhoods, properties, etc.) much easier to evaluate and execute successfully.Once you have that in place, everything else falls into place more smoothly, and you can make confident decisions as you take your first real steps in Tampa.Best of luck to you!

Unit4 worked better for us because money, deadlines and progress all sat in one clear view, so we stopped guessing where each project stood week to week.

Nothing like seeing water where it shouldn’t be to remind you that no matter how much homework you do, surprises happen.Another property developed a few leaks months into the rehab, and we eventually found out it needed brand new piping through the entire property...about $25k worth that hadn’t been accounted for in our evaluation.

Make sure you evaluate rental demand, realistic cash flow after expenses, and long-term appreciation potential before deciding.
