BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Still open to any PM recommendations if anyone has any.Hi Natalie, I was only using Icon for leasing purposes after they started up, but for the last few years I've been leasing and managing my own properties. 

I recommend doing your homework on the topic. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Would you recommend anyone?! 

I recommend you read "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene.

Hi Joe,I think going with a LOC is going to provide you with more flexibility than going through the process of obtaining financing for a purchase transaction.

i have seen that quadplex on the market for a while and yea it is definitely more than i would like to tackle right now but i think i could possibly make that SF work thank you for the recommendations  @Anthony Benoit For what it's worth, I'd estimate you'd need to negotiate the purchase price on that SF down a bit to make the numbers work in that area (BRRR or F/F).

Condos are also starting to only accept 20% down with reserves, not a good invest strategy at the moment.I'd recommend you stay in Tampa, Sarasota, buy some SF, duplex that need some lipstick and loving, put a tenant in there, and then get a heloc and repeat.
