Researching Pinnellas and Hillsborough counties

[Greg W.]

Hello,

I live in northern VA and am looking to find a less expensive market with a growing population to invest in. I feel like with the baby boomer's retiring, they will want to move to warmer climates, creating a demand for housing. I'm looking into Pinnellas and Hillsborough counties and need help figuring out what areas/neighborhoods are good for rentals. I am looking for areas that are nice, with good schools, in-demand areas or up-and-coming trendy areas where demand will increase. I would prefer to invest in multi-family, like a duplex or four-plex.

What types of properties are tenants looking for?

What areas are in demand, are up-and-coming and/or have good schools?

What kind of rents are you seeing?

Thank you!
