I am down in the springs, and did not see this until now. I would like to come meet some of you at the next meet up.

Riverview / gibsonton / apollo beach area has some great properties down there. you just have to find the deals.

There is a new hospital open off Big Bend Road and the Amazon warehouse one exit down ruskin/sun city.

That area will also have the new boat fairy going in just north of the power plant. That will appeal to the Military buyers, due to ease of transportation around the bay.

Adam, welcome to BP.

I am also stationed up in the springs temporarily. I noticed when I got here the market was pretty tough to break into. I would not have minded flipping or picking up a place while I was here, but now my time is running short. 

I am a fan and believer of Dave Ramsey. Nobody ever taught me about finances growing up, and I was one of those people with CC bills, over extended, etc.. Dave Ramsey puts together a great 7 step system that gives you a plan where you can then start to make short and long term goals. I was able to get out of debt (of all kinds), and save up more money than I ever have before. 

I have read a couple of his books and attended FPU class (appx $100) a couple months back.

Now, when it comes to investing, I lean more on the side of Kyosaki side of investing. Leverage some debt and control real assets. 

I dont mind taking risk and leverage debt, but I plan to eventually be in a position to buy and pay off property. You dont have to move so fast that you lose it all, nor do you have to move so slow that you miss the boat. There is a happy medium somewhere in there.

Welcome Gina. I am just on the other side of the bay. 

I would love to join you guys/gals when I get back to Tampa in June.

How are the quality on IKEA cabinets compared to the big box stores? 

 I was only taken away for 10 months, so I did not make any plans to buy at my current location. Tampa is my home, but if I dont find another place I will be homeless. Lol ok not really. 

Eric,

I am trying to stay at or under 200k purchase. I dont mind if it needs work, as long as there is meat on the bone at the end, and it will cash flow. I would be happy with $100 door in South Tampa. 

I did not see any real deals on the MLS, so I figured I would reach out to the BP community.

The military took me away, so I rented my primary residence, so I need a place in June to move into until the lease ends. 

I am in need of a deal in south Tampa between now and the next 120 days. I am looking for SFH or MFH to move into for a few months then hold for rental cash flow.

Zip codes I am interested in 33606, 33609, 33629, 33611, 33616

If you turn up anything, please let me know.
