Tampa won’t really cashflow much it seems after looking at a lot of deals out there, but I imagine appreciation will be significant and consistent there.

My credit is climbing consistently with debt being paid of that was used to renovate the last property. currently sitting at a 670ish.

We still like the old fashion long-term rentals for the consistency and reliability of income.

I'd think if you are looking at both, the prices on the 3 western states (sorry AK and Hawaii-leaving you out) are consistently higher.

Inventory remains low but you can find a deal if you stay consistent with your search and get aggressive when opportunities arise.All the best!

well lumber is down  so that could help.. but if your just getting a lump from your GC I guess that is his delta to capture. 

We do them all the time in the $75k-$95k all in range and they are consistently appraising for $90k-$120k.It's a great way to scale if you have the capital.

Since we didn’t have a pool and are not walking distance to the Broadwalk, we focused on interior design and that has helped, but we consistently lose out to Airbnbs with a pool, so we are working on maybe getting an above-ground pool and/or hot tub.

I already operate in a manner consistent with how the DOJ wants the industry to operate.

I am stuck between taking a chance on being an agent, or getting a consistent full time income for the foreseeable future.
