Thanks @Dave Van Horn! Looking forward to this! 

Is there somewhere to post our questions ahead of time?

@Mark Gibbs Thanks for sharing this! This was rather comprehensive and insightful.

Do you mind me asking where/how you found this note? Was it through a note fund or did you reach out to a local bank?

This is fantastic advice! Thanks for this!

Hey @Peter Grange welcome to Tampa!

Here are some of the meet ups that I have attend:

1. Larry Harbolt's  Monday RE meet up - it's at a Hibachi Buffet - price for the meeting is a couple bucks for a drink or a buffet price of ~$10.95 (I don't remember the exact cost). It happens every Monday like clockwork.
2. Tampa REIA Main Monthly Meeting - this one costs $20 / visit or the $100 annual fee. They have lots of guest speakers, vendors and networking opportunities. They meet every 2nd Tuesday of the month.
   
3. Creative Real Estate Exchangers - This one happens every Thursday morning.

I've hyperlinked each one to their meetup page. I found them via meetup as well. There's a ton of them going on, and most of them post their meeting information - location, cost, speaker (if applicable) on the MeetUp website and app. 

Hope this helps!

Congrats, @Bill Regan! I remember seeing @Ben Leybovich speak at the SF Bay Area RE Summit last year and he talked about doing this exact same thing! It was like an "a-ha" moment! It's something that I'm looking forward to doing in the future.

Clearwater is an awesome location. I know that in St. Pete, there's been issues with zoning with AirBnB/STR have you experienced or heard about anything about any zoning issues in Clearwater?

Thanks @Jack Bobeck!

I know that rules of thumb are not necessarily concrete investment strategies, but as a filtering criteria, does the 1% rule apply in St. Pete for MFH? I've been looking at MFH in Tampa, and it seems like the 1% rule is not viable. I'd love to hear others' experience!

@Jack Bobeck, great find! How did you find that memo? Was it available on the Jacksonville City Council's website?
