Secondly, I'd chat with a realtor and get some recs on lenders to truly see what you're working with in terms of buying power.

For the rentals, are you open to buying "fixer uppers"?

I work with mainly buy and hold investors here in Cincinnati.

My goal is to buy one rental per year with price between 150k-250k for the next ten years (if i get to keep my job). 

You can probably find good deals in Tampa right now, but I'd be very strategic about where you buy and yes, insurance and taxes can be killer, but there are plenty of investors there and for good reason. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I was trying to work with them to buy more property in different markets and get it under a Master Lease with them but they have been really picky.

I’m not planning on buying until 2026 so where do you go for real estate news and market trends?  

And what are you looking to buy, SF, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF?

Then the prices lower towards the date and you end up booking at a low price or worse just being vacant.I think manually pricing your STR'S is a much better approach.So many people are looking for the next cool software app to buy a subscription to.
