Investing in Tampa, Clearwater and St. Pete areas in FL?

Looking for a remote investment rental in the Tampa, Clearwater and St. Pete areas. What are some of the promising areas within these cities? I visited Tampa once in July and loved the area. Of course I think it has tremendous possibilities like it’s always been the past 20 years.

Let’s get connected?

Thank you for your inputs :)

I would love to connect and talk about some of the areas you're interested in! The Tampa Bay area can be a little strange to get the pulse of, since we literally have old small homes in the same neighborhoods as McMansion style homes. You're definitely going to want some boots on the ground who are familiar with the area. It's beautiful here and I count myself lucky to have lived here my whole life! :)

Investing in Tampa for 20 years... Tampa has a lot going for it right now, including a real estate market on flame even when some U.S. Cities are running out of market fuel due to drenched inventory and declining home sales prices. Here are the three upcoming neighborhoods in Tampa, Florida, where you should be investing in rentals today. 

The best areas where you can still find deals. 

The first is University Square, high in diversity low in cost of living, and it is ideal for new families and young students that are just getting started. Also, the proximity to Busch gardens makes it very attractive for your next tenant. 

Number two is Tampa Heights, south of the university and slightly north of downtown; this old neighborhood of Tampa Heights is attracting more people than ever. So many developers have been welcomed by small businesses and residents that are now moving to the area, making it ideal for rental properties. 

Number three is Ybor City. Ybor has been up and coming for years, so much to do around great Cuban food, trolleys, new bars. The area continues to draw all kinds of people, including people willing to live there and be part of the cool part of Tampa.

@Jorge Vazquez thanks for the info. How difficult is it to find a builder for upgrades lately with the boom in Tampa?

Still looking? Locations depend on size of investment. SFH or multi?
