Newbie from Brandon/Lithia, FL

[Sam Colbert]

Hello all, Newbie here on BP. From Brandon/Lithia, FL area (outside of Tampa) . Goal is to start asap in real estate investing, purchasing single & multi family homes for investment rentals and some rehab/flipping. Currently own one rental property but obtained out of situation and not with real estate investing in mind (wife and I both owned homes before getting married, so we live in one and rent the other). So I have some minor experience with a rental property.

I’ve been listening nonstop on the BP podcast and others, reading reading reading as well. To learn as much as possible from others in the business.

If you are from area would love to here from you and hope to get some nuggets of info from experiences in the area as well.
