;) And, believe it or not, that's a big step up from the "Holy Crap No Way That's Crazy I'm Going to Lose All My Money and My Kids Won't Go to College and I'll Be a Failure" stage I was at previously.I'd like to connect with others in the Tampa area who have experience purchasing homes through the Hillsborough foreclosure auction.

We started buying and rehabbing properties around 2010, back then my wife some college friends and I did all the work ourselves we didn't know any subs or tradespeople. 

There are always single college students and short-term renters who don't mind renting just a room.

That's 8 yrs of hard schooling 'after' 4 yr college. 

I am 20 years old and a sophomore in college.

If you insist on SMF, Try to find something as West as you can afford, away from the college and the AF base.

I remember learning in college economics where the supply curve meets the demand curve that is the optimal price point for maximum revenue :)

I'm sure you will attract a lot of visitors for the nearby colleges and hospitals.I would reach out to some hard money lender brokers like Sherman Bridge, that will give you access to many different HMLs at once and you can easily compare their rates.A good local HML is Chris Misutka, I will DM you his contact info.Most HMLs can close within 2 weeks but they may require an inspection.

Its proximity to key transportation hubs, the Airport, and Tyler Perry Studios, along with other amenities, makes it an attractive area for this investment strategy.If you're leaning towards STR or MTR, you can consider areas like East Point or College Park.

Hi,I am a 21 year old college student in Ohio preparing for graduation in the coming year.
