Hey Kusum! I'm in the Tampa/Clearwater area.
I haven't invested myself yet, but I have been studying the market for Multi-Family/Income generating properties (Duplexes/Triplexes/Quadplexes).
Because the market is so hot, they're producing about a half-percent monthly. I haven't seen much that hits the 1% rule as far as monthly cashflow.
I've been hearing people say they are staying away from the coast and recommending Lakeland and Ft Myers areas for finding better/cheaper deals.
I've been keeping an eye out in those areas. So, I'm just watching and studying the market here.
If you are looking for something specific, let me know and I can let you know if I find something that might interest you.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions.
PS. On the flip side, I was at a closing the other day, and the seller told me that they have a small home (smaller than the townhouse she was selling) that's a short-term rental down around Manatee/Sarasota that generating about $22,000 a month
