Looking to Tap into the St. Petersburg/Tampa, FL Market

[Robert Brock]

Hi BP,

Right now my wife and I are Real Estate investors in Illinois.  We are now considering relocating to the St. Petersburg/Tampa, FL area and invest there as well.  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for getting started in this area?

Be patient. You’re walking into one of the hottest markets in the US. Competition is high so you need to link with people who are still finding deals. We encourage our investors to keep their money moving by lending, JVing, etc.. while they wait for a good opportunity to take down. Do you need recommendations for local HML and management companies? Also good contractors virtually don’t exist in the fix and flip space so you need to be very diligent when selecting crews. Feel free to PM me. We wholesale, fix and flip, etc...
