New St. Pete Investor (Moved from Boston)

[Christina Nalband]

Hey! My name is Christina and I recently purchased a two family in Tampa that I currently have on Airbnb (website linked here).

My plan in the next year is to acquire 2-3 more properties to either Airbnb/Rent/Flip. Staying in the St. Pete and Tampa area.

Questions for the group:

--Does anyone have a great CPA local to St.Pete or Tampa? (REALLY need one ASAP 😎)
--Any advice on how to build and structure a LEGIT real estate plan? (ie. using excel to plan out my next year of things I need in order to reach my goals?)
--Any advice on how to decide what is/is not a great property to buy?
--A legit contractor local to St. Pete/Tampa that wont rip me off 🤣

I am a Boston native and I cannot believe the prices for some of the real estate (in St. Pete near central ave specifically) down here recently.. I have seen 3/3 condos going for $900,000... Those are Boston/New York prices.

SO excited to meet people in the community. Cheers!

@Christina Nalband hello Christina! I’m a rookie investor in the Tampa area with one duplex I’m currently house hacking in Seminole Heights. I know some great contractors I can refer if needed depending on the project! Would love to connect
