Newbie in Tampa Florida

[Domanie Granger]

Hello my fellow Bigger Pockets people. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while now, trying to absorb as much info as possible before I ventured into writing forum posts. However, as I have obviously been violating a major bigger pocket tenant (network, network, network) I figured I better start working on, you guessed it, networking. So here begins my first foray. Currently, I'm slaving away at the rat race in Tampa, FL. I just bought a house, which is my primarily residence and doing a live in flip. (Clearly I lost my mind when I thought that was a good idea.) I'm actively searching for my first real investment property right now. I'm mainly focusing on the secondary and tertiary markets around Tampa and St. Petes as the primary market is a bit insane right now.
