@Khaled Morad I would love to join a Tampa meetup but I will be out of town on the 17th.  Is it held monthly by chance?

Fantastic information!  Thank you @Jorge Vazquez, @Marissa Miles, @Kristina Kuba and @Zach Kolman for the great advice.  I will definitely be scouting those areas looking for my next deal.  I appreciate the help!  

@Will Barnard great advice.  I do have Quickbooks already and it is a great tool.  I think I will look into buying an already built spreadsheet and just plug in my numbers.  Thanks for the tips and info!

Hello BP members! My focus so far has been SFH rehabs and so far I have been pretty close with my rehab numbers. Only one of many have I been off but that was due to unforeseen issues discovered after tearing into walls in one home. Anyway I'm wondering what some people think is a best rehab tool such as a program, spreadsheet, etc to use. I was using a hard copy list with some pricing, but I would like to get faster and more precise not to mention so archaic. Plus as prices change with supply demand and shortages I need a better tool. If anyone has anything they recommend I would love to hear about it. TIA

@Jason Wray thank you I appreciate the info!

I'm looking to expand my purchases and rehabs/rentals into Tampa and suburbs and wondering if there are areas I should avoid or the really good areas to look at.  TIA!

P.S.  You have some great blogs!  Keep it up!

@Melissa Dorman  that's good to know.  Thanks for the info!

Yikes that's crazy!  Those are similar to what I have been doing too with 7 day inspections but I've had to drop that on several offers but still getting beat out by cash.  Crazy Florida markets!  Are the burbs just as hot or do you venture out from Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater?

 Hey Bud, I've been told they are actually illegal in some states...  Have you heard this?
