There will be plenty of topics covered, but they will include:

This is a free event put on by Suites of Madison and Advanta IRA for real estate investors in the Tampa area. This is a great opportunity to network with other investors as well as a chance to learn from one of the local legends, Peter Fortunato.

6:30pm Presentation & Q&A with Pete Fortunato

8:00pm Wrap up and additional networking

A little about Peter:

Peter Fortunato is from Boston and now lives in Tampa, Florida. He’s been investing in real estate since 1964 and is known for having one of the most creative deal structuring minds in the business. Peter, through his courses and advice, has helped thousands of investors reach their full investing potential.

Peter is a libertarian and a capitalist. He believes that transactions which you can be proud of result from carefully conceived goals and plans followed by purposeful actions and scrupulous documentation.

Peter continues to teach and to attend real estate and investment seminars and meetings regularly. He is respected for his clear and patient explanations of investment concepts and transactions. He has been building, structuring, manipulating and managing investment transactions and portfolios for more than 40 years.

@Stephan K. is right. Clearwater is probably the toughest on STR in the area, but it is different for every municipality. In Pinellas county pretty much every municipality has a minimum 30 day rental rule with a few grandfathered exceptions.

@Will Crayger Welcome to investing in Tampa! My fiance and I recently moved to the area from San Francisco, and have bought a SFH and are under contract on a 5-unit property so far. We are still very much in the beginning of our journey and building our network here locally. We've found that good contractors are one of the hardest things to line up without some trial and error, but maybe we can share notes as we both build up our teams.

Local meetups have been an amazing resource for us so far. There are a couple free ones that we go to every month that have a great group of people. Let me know if you want the details to see if they would interest you.

@Masaki Maeda It'd be great to connect with you at some point too. We are always looking to meet more local investors so we can all get better together and grow in this market. Maybe me, you, and @Will Crayger can get together for a lunch at some point in the coming weeks.
