There are some missing pieces of data needed to make an in depth analysis from where we sit and give you more sound advice, however I own/manage property in Tampa which is a highly producing market and:- With $300k to play with you can acquire a $1M property or more which does provide the best cash flow- On a $1M acquisition and $200k (or less down possible) you can achieve 10-30% CoC returns, likely 15% inclusive of management is possible.- Do not forget about appreciation, which is where the real wealth comes from.

He's made millions...and by the way he finds it very hard to find suitable deals in this environment too.  

I've learned that in this environment hard work only leads to more work.
