SW Florida - Tampa, St Pete's, Largo, Seminole

[Christopher Fougere]

I'm an investor from VT, but have been investing out of state (mainly in MO, most recently in OH) the past few years.  We've grown our portfolio (my wife and I) much faster than we originally planned - seems that is not unusual, but we are possibly looking at opportunities in SW FL.

I will be in the Largo beaches area Apr 21 - 26 and am looking for a potential partner in the area to help find deals. What I am looking for is a Realtor and/or PM or combination of both that has an excellent track record in SW FL who can steer me away from trash properties. My strategy is a boring but lower risk one - safe areas with good schools SFR 3BR 1+ bath. I don't consider multi-family at this time. Thanks!

@Christopher Fougere how is/was the OH market?  I've heard great things.  Do you have a realtor there you can recommend?  Did you have to travel there much?

I have never been - I am always meaning to go, but life gets in the way.  The areas I am interested in now are very difficult to find deals.  There are TK vendors offering properties but the areas they can make money in don't appeal to me.  I have been working with @William Robison for the past few years and he has kept me in safer investments.
