I have personally invested in both turn-key and value-added properties. 

I know a couple of the Realtors on the team at Suncoast Property Management, Acquisitions & New Construction Manager, Gretchen Kornutik, REALTOR® - Good person.

Being a curious person, I gained an interest in real estate investing due to other classmates being interested in real estate.

Also interested in networking to learn more about my personal interest in STR's primarily in the Tampa, Bradenton, and Sarasota markets along with other southeast coastal and mountain markets. 

Each person who lost their property will need to rebuild their home.
