Not sure if this can be useful to people, but here's a heatmap I made showing the concentration of flips in Tampa, FL as of last month..the the more Orange/Pink the more flips that are happening.

I've been reading as much as I can on the subject, particularly the commercial investment/sales front as that's the field I would like to enter into, or operate primarily in, but I'm curious as to what self-education sources an ACTUAL commercial broker might suggest to a junior/inexperienced agent looking become a competent CRE sales professional in the future--without having to harvest a kidney in order to pay for it.Particularly, on the second half of a CRE deal, such as after initial negotiations, after LOI/offer is agreed upon, whenever lawyers may become involved (or not, in some edge cases?)

Ender/Harvester (living off income).

18th Street is a priority corridor within Pilsen for development by the City and the local Alderman, especially on the western end of the corridor by the the Pink line station.

However, I am right across the street from the Chickasaw Gardens area and the Pink Palace.

I know of one beginning investor that produced leads out of his own money and Hard work then worked with a experienced investor to harvest any potential deals. 

I first filled the joist cavities with sound insulation (Roxul Safe n Sound is good because it is also fire rated, there's also a pink insulation for sound that is cheaper but not fire rated).

The spore density was lower than the air outside, but a month later when I came out I could see pink stuff forming on a few walls in the utility room.

But, if you have other capital investments that have losses and willing to tax loss harvest, that would be one way to offset.Good luck.

What do you guys' think of the outskirt areas like Harvest, Toney, Hazel Green and New Market?
