Investing in Tampa/St. Pete/ Sarasota

[Jack Glazer]

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently working in Los Angeles but originally from the South and looking to get a foothold back in the market (previously owned and rented out a single family - just sold it in ATL).  I know that Tampa down through Sarasota is developing quite a bit, and diversifying from purely snowbirds and retirees.  I'm looking to meet some different folks that are based in that market with similar interests for investing:

1. Rental properties

2. Buying land and building

Really open to different suggestions as to which areas are the best starting points to look into - I'll be heading to the area mid July to do some scouting.  Any advice or suggestions for those already based or looking in that area would be great.  

Thanks! -Jack

Hey @Jack Glazer

I am an investor from the Bradenton/ Sarasota Area and agree with what you are saying, we are seeing some big growth down here! I feel there are still some opportunities for cash flowing rentals here, but I am alittle worry on the development side. They are building like crazy and its hard to compete with the big developers here. Dont get me wrong there is defiantly opportunity, but just alittle less certain than a cash flowing rental here. hope this helps! Message me if you want to connect further.
