Investor in St. Pete/Tampa looking to expand

[James M.]

Good Afternoon,

I am new to BP and look forward to connecting with some like-minded folks.  I own a mix of commercial/sfh properties in St. Petersburg.  I’m looking to continue with sfh but also want to expand into multi family/apartment buildings in the Tampa Bay area.  I’m not a fix and flipper, but rather more on the buy, rent, and hold side with very little rehab (because I don't have the time for it).  Long term appreciation and post retirement income are the goals now as I'm lucky enough to own a non-real estate related company that does very well so cash flow is not needed at this point in my life.

In my efforts to continue to expand, I'm looking for solid financing options for purchases going forward (20% down or less but I know that's almost impossible, low cost and fixed interest, 25-30 years, etc.).  I also have a few sfh properties I'd like to cash out refi including one jumbo.  I'd like a one-stop shop for my various properties to eliminate as much hassle as possible.  My credit score is excellent, no debt other than real estate, and solid income.

I appreciate everyone's contributions to this site!  Such a valuable resource!
