You're not going to know the whole city from one visit but you may be able to identify and drive one or two strong "buy" locations for yourself.Best of luck!

I frequent the MKE events.Leverage Your Skills: Highlight your project management expertise and strong contractor relationships when negotiating deals.

A lot of my clients buying in FL are happy with minimal return but are buying for second homes, tax benefits, etc.I would stick with value add - with refi you can still achieve high CoC and a good equity position. 

I am a strong advocate for their effectiveness allowing you to do substantially more with your money. 

This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Primarily self limiting beliefs.One of my clients just closed on their first commercial deal and they only had one duplex before I started working with them. 

I had a client that had an illegal garage rented out for $1k per month and when he attempted to sell the property, the tenant went to the city and the owner had to pay the tenant back 2 years worth of rent.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

If that's the case I would strongly suggest building your team before pulling the trigger on an Airbnb.

However, like any market, success depends on selecting the right neighborhoods and building a solid team on the ground.In Indianapolis, areas like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, and Irvington have seen strong appreciation and rental demand, but they can be more competitive.
