New to investing - Tampa

[Joshua Sclafani]

I'm excited to learn more from this fantastic site. I've enjoyed many of the podcasts and have already applied some lessons learned on our first SFH rental property deal here in Tampa. I'm a Program Manager by trade but hope to grow a real estate business I can operate full time.

I'm focused on the Seminole Heights neighborhoods (33603, 33604) where I also live. It's an up and coming area full of beautiful old bungalows, we have some of the best restaurants and breweries in Tampa and a very colorful and artsy culture among the residents. It's also in flood zone X, so we are well poised for the future impact of global warming. 

Although we have started out with a single family, our intent is to diversify with multi-families as well, adding 2-5 units per year to our portfolio. If anyone out there is familiar with our area, I'd love to chat and learn from your experiences and reciprocate where I can.
