Tampa is great for the nightlife and offers a lot of new places to wine/dine but the traffic can get a little crazy. 

Totally agree  to me the risk of getting a bummer after flying all the way from the west coast to Paris or anywhere across a pond is simply not worth it other than maybe a wine tour group to Tuscany etc..

@Nicolas Dupuis you definitely can use the projected rental income to help you qualify for a higher purchase price when purchasing a multi-family home with a conventional loan.

I would not go to France or Italy to eat hamburgers, I would go to taste the best wines, Spanish Iberian serrano ham, the best French dishes, pastas and the best cheeses in the world.

Hello I recently bought a resort in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, wine country 1 hr drive from San Diego, CA.

His wife, a former public school teacher, would be sleeping off her morning wine consumption.

@Sean Smith-come join us on 2/10 6pm, it's at a beach house in Ormond but offering Zoom too (but locally will have wine and cheese lol). 

i don't know anything about this market specifically but i have done several BRRRRs.Hey Nicolas.

I've been an investor and broker for the last 10 years in FL and NC, and specialize in the mountain regions, and beach regions because that's where most of the tourists, and investors who want getaways, invest (certainly there are many other interesting markets to invest however, booming wine country for example..)To add to it, I love the environmentally responsible home building, that's something I've had an interest in for a while, and I've worked with several contractors and architects in the last few years to come up with a useful plan for alternative and environmentally responsible building materials. 

(paraphrased)/before you knocked on my door I was praying and something told me to cancel my appointment I had with a realtor today, get a glass of wine, and take it easy for the afternoon.
