@Todd Anderson totally agree on finding a mentor in the market to learn from.

I still have a full-time job, but my goal is to start with 1-2 flips/year for the first couple of years, then ramp up to 5+/year.Right now, I’m focused on learning as much as possible—market analysis, deal sourcing, estimating rehab costs, and raising capital.

I avoid the multi-family market here, so unfortunately, I will not be a good go-to here, but I am confident you will find quality resources and help here on BP.  

I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years. 

In this I hope that I can link with someone that can provide more insight into the local market.

Also, confirm market rents support your investment.

I'd be happy to visit about the market.  

Look at their marketing strategy.

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $60,000 My initial strategy for this deal was to flip it and sell it, but the market was unfavorable so I opted for the BRRRR strtategy instead.

I, too, am in Tampa and I've been a lender/banker and a Real Estate investor in the market since 1996.
