Is it worth looking here?
Hello, 👋🏾 my wife and I have recently began educating ourselves the last few months with real estate investing ie books/podcasts/this site. Everything we look at here in Tampa seems like the numbers aren’t even close to cash flowing. Should we focus a lot further out or out of state?
we have about $400-500k liquid we could use for investing but feels like we missed the boat by 3+ years.

Thank you so much for the advice. And yes I’d have no problem tweaking my strategy and doing it as more of a buy and hold type thing.
We are in our mid 30s, student loans are paid, and we have good credit so I’m thinking we should be in a good position to buy and hold for a Longer period of time.
