In short, they have great local expertise.Be specific with your realtor, but don't waste his time or burn your bridges.

Pinellas offers some of the worlds best beaches, and industry with several large publicly traded companies calling it home.The area was the first "suburbs" of Tampa, its a quick drive across the bridge to the airport, the Westshore business district and really down town Tampa.  

@Jeff Bridges , thanks.  

But I'm not finding that when I look at White Gables, Ponds, Bridges of Summerville, and Myer's Mill, Hickory Ridge, and so on.

Oh well, water under the bridge. 

@Scot Howat -- so how do people bridge that conundrum?

It's a great tool as a bridge loan if used correctly.

Then seek out a lender who can offer bridge lending.

Otherwise you run the risk of burning a bridge and creating a bad reputation for yourself.

I seriously considered asking how she could afford that and not a rent increase, but it was water under the bridge at that point.
