Hello from Tampa, FL

[Joe Harrington]

Hi BiggerPockets people! I've been enjoying the podcasts and site for a few months now and I thought I'd introduce myself.

My name is Joe, I am a new investor, located in Tampa, FL. I've worked as an Architect for the last 10 or so years and I'm ready to sit on the other side of the table as an owner! The podcasts have been infectious, and there are several of us at work that have started listening and have "seen the light" of real estate investing.

I am especially interested in commercial multifamily. I'm looking at existing property to invest in, but I like the idea of developing my own project to leverage my experience. I'm curious to hear anyones thoughts on the new vs. existing argument, especially any indicators on when it makes financial sense to build new.

I've learned a ton since discovering bigger pockets and still have a long way to go. Thanks and looking forward to the future!
