I believe that while it is a buyers market and renters market right now, these conditions will change within 5 years, because: - The long-term fundamentals that drive people to migrate to Florida remain unchanged, and a steady influx is a reasonable expectation. - Supply will abate. 2026 and 2027 will see less than half the deliveries nationwide of of 2024 and 2025, respectively, and I bet that is even more extreme in a market like Tampa.

There is steady supply of renters, "guaranteed" rent and the organization wants to continue to partner.

I invested in many syndications myself, since 2009 and all have delivered less than promised or could not deliver and went belly up except one that has remained a steady performer for over 14 years now.

My recommendation would be different if you were a high-income earner or if you wanted steady equity growth.

Have a steady 9-5 job but looking to branch into real estate investing as well. 

What this tells me is Raleigh is likely better for long-term, conservative investments due to steady value growth.

Also, try and reach out to the Sandbridge vacation rental companies and see if you can get on their list or radar. that would be a great way to get very steady demand in the summertime.

Albany has a mix of appreciation and cash flow opportunities, steady rental market due to state /government jobs and colleges.I would love to help you out with your investing journey.

@Collin Hays My favorite that came in at 6am one morning when the nights low temperature was 58 degrees and the high temperature was to be around 75 was the following.

The area’s limited number of apartment buildings means that many renters prefer single-family properties, creating steady demand for these homes.Happy to chat further if needed.
