Where do you invest and why?

[Samantha Milford]

My husband I will be moving to the Tampa area because of his newest contract with The Marine Corps. We are starting to analyze neighborhoods between Tampa and Sarasota to purchase our first rental property. I figured a good start would be to see what other investors in the area think. Especially since we won't be there physically just yet, we could use some local opinions for our first purchase!

So, what neighborhoods do you invest in, what types of properties are they, and why?
