(direct and strong enough?)

With election uncertainty and changing economic conditions, there is potential for further shifts in the market as we move into 2025​(Nest Realty)​(Garretts Realty).For those considering investing, it's worth noting that Louisville's rental market remains strong, particularly for multifamily properties, where rent prices have increased 5.1% year-over-year, outperforming national averages​(Nest Realty).Lot's of cool things happening in the area!

I believe the rental market will be strong in the coming years partly because the younger generation of adults are less likely to "settle down," and the price of home ownership is significantly higher than it was just five years ago.

It is now the best time to be an investor provided that you have access to your own capital to do deals and don't need third party funding combined with your strong skills in purchasing a distressed property at the right price.

If you have strong income and a busy job, you want to be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

I won't comment on the actual return to office part itself, as I have strong feelings, but that is what it happening.

I strongly suggest engaging the services of a consultant or advisor to assist you with this matter.

Are multi-family rentals a strong investment in the Tampa area compared to condos/apartments?

My advice would be to focus on cash flow properties, especially in areas where you can get consistent returns, and consider Section 8 housing for guaranteed income.Also, leverage your experience in Portland to streamline processes with your new partner, and build a strong local team (agents, contractors, etc.) in OKC to make things smoother.Feel free to reach out if you need any specific advice—happy to help!
