Real estate is building wealth via the long game.

I've been in the real estate game for over 20 years and have done my fair share of transactions, including condos and multifamily properties.

Best to lay your groundwork and engage the Engineer early on.

This is not tax or legal advice; engage those professionals. 

Buyers are out there, and with fewer investors jumping in due to concerns, there's less competition snagging those good deals.If you're considering moving forward, connecting with someone who knows the Tampa scene inside and out could be a game-changer.

REI is usually a long game in regards to building wealth.

By not engaging a listing agent, you not only take on the challenge of dealing directly with buyers’ agents but also increase your risk of legal exposure.

I understand it's a long term game.

There are a lot of owners that have great purchase prices and 3 to 4% Interest rates that bought 5, 10 or more years ago.If you want to jump into the STR market game now in competitive markets you better run your numbers conservatively and you need an appealing location and property to be competitive.
