Newbie from Tampa, FL
Hi everyone!
My name is Samir and I am a CPA from the Tampa Bay area and I am glad to be part of the biggerpockets community. Their seems to be an immense wealth of information on here and I am excited to learn every bit I can.
I have absolutely zero experience in Real Esate but I do know that this is the way to go if I want to build wealth and retire early. I know that I want to buy and hold in the long run but is that the way to start off? Or should I start by flipping houses and build enough cash? I would appreciate input by anyone or someone with knowledge of the Tampa market.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post!
