If you are just starting out, this is for you:When you buy an investment property, it is treated differently than a house you are going to live in. 

Even though I'm a big guy I bring a second person (my wife or friend) with me to talk to my tenants when I'm going to have a hard conversation.  

After 20+ years in Tampa, I’ve seen that the best agents don’t just sell you a dream—they give you real numbers, honest comps, and realistic projections.

If you're looking for areas with nightlife/ young people, have you also looked at Middletown?

We also have interest from some new car companies that are looking at the facilities in Windsor for re-purposing to use for EV manufacturing.

Hey everyone, a new development in the area where I invest, is offering a 5.99% interest rate (conventional loan) and 2% of purchase price in closing costs.

Your purchase price of 215k would be a bit higher which could cause you to lose money on the property.We have flipped a bunch and notice that even as a broker trying to be conservative in our ARV estimate, can still sometimes be too high by 5% (worst case 10%) in some cases. 

We have an existing mortgage (backed by these 2 lots and 2 others) and given the increase in appraised value there is no need to pay anything back to the lender when selling the lot.

You will also need to have a US Bank account.  

I currently have a pre-tax retirement account with employer match and a Roth IRA invested in the stock market.
