I would suggest to sell the condo and reinvest into a single family home.  The condo will limit the rental options to age restrictions.  Between the equity on the condo and the extra cash you have, you can purchase 2-3 homes.  Find a good Realtor on here and have them you sort out the best deals in your area.  Self managing should be easy, if not then that Realtor can probably help you with the rental side of it.  I am in the Tampa Florida area and we in dire need of more LTRs for incoming residents.  Rents are high and demand is high.  Hope that helps!

When looking for a Realtor, here is the best place to look.  You probably can find a good one through BP.  It will save you time and effort.  You will also know that they investor friendly and experienced with investment properties.  I am in the Tampa Florida area and I know that a lot of Realtors don't always work with investment properties.  You can also look up on top and look into the AGENTS tab to find one.

Great job on the investment!!! I am in the Tampa Florida area and love to hear about other successes in Florida!!!

I am also in the Tampa Florida area.  I actually live Pinellas County.  I would love to connect and discuss RE opportunities here.  Also@Jed Butikofer as@Christian Chartier said, this area has great potential for investment. Owners are unloading their STRs due to over saturation in this market.  I would love to discuss further. AND you get to live near some of the best beaches in the country. 

Hello!!! I'm in the Tampa Bay Area!!! I would love to help you all if you would consider branching out.  I have the resources and know how, to do it.  

I have been in the STR market for the last 13 years. I am in a very competitive market here in the Tampa Florida area (Clearwater, Saint Petersburg and beach areas). the I have seen a lot of properties come and go. Congrats on getting started with the STR business. It is hard and will be a full time time job to do it right. Make sure to have some good cleaners, not just one, but a few. Have an owner's closet, where you lock up your extra inventory so the guests can't use it. Label as much as you can. Also, my guests always love my little goodie basket of snacks and a few bottles of water. Its the little things to make the guests time easier the way you stand out in the market.

I am an investor agent in the Tampa area.  I have seen it grow sooooooo much over the last 7 years of living here.  Right now there is a lot of opportunity with water damaged houses and flips.  We have been working some off market deals and planning on doing all the work in house with our crews.  We should see some really great returns this year.

Hello!!!! I am investor agent here in the Tampa area. I have been here for 7 years and have seen many areas come up and be great and profitable investments. Outside of Tampa Saint Petersburg, Clearwater and New Port Richie are all good as well. Right now you can get some deals near the beaches from damaged homes and could really come out with a lucrative ROI. It all really depends on what your buy box is and what your comfort level is. I am happy to help!!!!!

I'm in the Tampa Bay area and I will put an ad on Craigslist, Indeed or post in a group on Facebook for AirBNB/STRs. 

Ask your lender about a bridge loan.... I'm from Tampa Florida and I have a few clients that leveraged their portfolio to buy new properties.  Also, think about creative financing, seller financing and sub to can also be options to grow your portfolio.
