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?

Appreciate you service and welcome to Tampa! To answer your question, my investors and me personally:

We invest in west tampa due to the The City of Tampa expanding the Riverwalk, adding six more miles to the city’s popular trail to what will be a 12.2-mile multi-use pathway.

We like VM Ybor because it is so close to the future large scale multi use development “GasWorx ''.

We also invest near the Westshore Marina district… still south Tampa but at least you snag a deal south of Gandy and still be close.  Feel free to PM if you have any questions!
