I’ve been investing in the area for the past 4 years (30+ units) and I’ve been also helping investors invest in the area as well. It’s true the area is saturated with investors, but like someone above said, having someone with the right contacts and who is constantly looking deals, you’ll have no issues picking up a deal if you’re patient. Investing in real estate by playing hot potato with your capital ( what a lot of newbie investors on BP are looking to do) can get you in trouble. Buy and hold investing is a mid-long term game and patience always pays. If you want to talk Tampa/ St. Pete multi family investing, feel free to reach out. But I’ll just say, don’t let people tell you it’s not the best place to invest, chances are they don’t even know the area
Thanks Anthony. I bought my first investment in Riverview roughly 10 years ago and definitely I’m into buy and hold for cash flow.
I’ve been actively looking for the past two months, but I don’t really have access to wholesale, off-market with my current agent. Maybe that’s what I’m struggling with?
