HELOC and then AIrBNB in Tampa ... The properties that I personally own and the ones I've helped investors around the Tampa core are doing insanely well. The delta variant and other states potentially locking down coupled with the midtown and water street development will further propel STR travel.

Philip,

I use Google Sheets and do one for rental grade, mid and high end.

I would also recommend using Deal Check to run your numbers. Very underrated app that is really useful.

Bryce,

I would definitely recommend staging and rephotographing. Buyers have to have an emotional connection to the home and especially because you stated that the flow is wonky, all the more reason buyers have to imagine themselves living there.

Hack: Only pay for indoor staging. Jump on Facebook Marketplace and spend $100-$200 and grab rocking chairs for the front porch and some patio chairs for the rear area. Draw potential buyers away from just the interior flow and let them also focus on the exterior spaces. And now you have outdoor furniture to use for all your future flip staging!

Best of luck,

Meghan,

I would start with a demand letter from a robust real estate attorney who has litigation experience. This can carry a lot of weight even if you already reached out by yourself. It shows you are serious and have spent money retaining legal counsel. Local attorneys know each other and they know when an opposing party might take it further especially if that attorney has a track record.

From what I gathered, the prior seller’s lawsuit is not of importance. Rather the focal point is that the seller fraudulently misrepresented the seller's disclosure.

FHA House hack. It will position you nicely to scale multifamily.

Marc,

Look in up and coming areas like Lakeland (Polk County) between Tampa and Orlando. Major opportunity for appreciation as it sits right half way between 2 major metros and is a bedroom community.

Hi Nate,

Most cities, if not all, in Pinellas County have a minimum 30 day stay requirement, so short term AirBNB won’t work. I would highly recommend upcoming areas in Tampa such as Ybor, Tampa Heights and SOG (South of Gandy) near the Westshore Marina district. Tampa has no restrictions on short term leases.

Looking forward to connecting with you

Congrats on the money saved!  Have you considered investing in the midwest or the southeast?

Hello there! :)

HI Jordan,

It would be my pleasure to connect. Little but about me, I have personally owned, designed, renovated 16 homes in Tampa in the last 3 years. I have worked with the City of Tampa planning and building dept to get plans approved and permits expedited and ran the construction site myself. I own a quadplex and a SFR in midtown that I did with the BRRRR process and now Airbnb . On the client retail side, I had the privilege to serve 23 investors and families this year alone.

Looking forward to connecting.
