    @Tal Taieb

    Hello!!!! I am investor agent here in the Tampa area. I have been here for 7 years and have seen many areas come up and be great and profitable investments. Outside of Tampa Saint Petersburg, Clearwater and New Port Richie are all good as well. Right now you can get some deals near the beaches from damaged homes and could really come out with a lucrative ROI. It all really depends on what your buy box is and what your comfort level is. I am happy to help!!!!!

    @Tal Taieb really depends on your price point. @Josh Green is a local investor and agent. I'm sure he can share some good information with you!

    Solely on price, there are areas that can be fits

    Tampa: south of Gandy - South Tampa, Suphur Springs, near University, 

    St Pete: Childs Park & surrounding areas, Gulfport, South St Pete, Euclid Heights and areas west of 275

    Largo 

    You only provided price, which is a small part of buy box. I recommend spending time (if you havent already) considering the type of property, rehab required, exit strategy and level of involvement in management  - amongst other factors.

    @Obed Calixte

    Thank you for the info Obed!

    And you are right I missed important details:

    - I'm looking to buy & hold single-family houses that need repairs. an exit strategy is to sell after increasing the equity of the property.

    - I gonna do it as a full-time job; I am thinking about refinancing the properties and keep buying.

    - 250-300k 

    Do you also have additional recommendations about the greater Tampa area?

    Thanks a lot !

    Hi Tal,

    In my 20 years investing in Tampa, I’ve learned that finding areas with strong cash flow potential makes all the difference. Some top spots in the city to consider are Seminole Heights, West Tampa, East Tampa, and the University area near USF. For suburbs, Riverview, Brandon, and Lakeland are growing quickly, while Thonotosassa and Clair-Mel stand out as affordable options with solid returns.

    These are just a few ideas to get started. Let me know if you want to explore more—I’m here to help!

    At that price point, I would focus on Condos. That market has slowed significantly, and the price points are much more attractive.

    That said, make sure you do your homework. A lot of it. 

    Condos can be tricky even to the well-informed.

    But there is definitely meat on those bones if you're willing to learn.
