If you don't plan on allowing 4+ cats in your rental in the future you shouldn't start now.

Over time your Tampa investment will start to cash flow.

I’m curious to hear if people have done this in the past, how they did it, how they started, etc.Any thoughts / discussion / enlightenment on this is encouraged!

@Brad Kanouse I have an idea that doesn't involve drawing from your IRA.

The idea is to leverage pre-existing networks in a way that builds instant credibility and gets responses fast.If you want to implement this strategy, here’s a link to the exact resource we used:👉 Spreadsheet Link Here (just make a copy for yourself)I also recorded a short video walking through how we set everything up, but since BiggerPockets has rules against sharing that kind of content, feel free to DM me if you have questions on execution.Anyone else using creative co-living marketing strategies that are working right now?

I would say I have 5 people in my network that would be interested/capable of investing at this scale, and I am starting by reaching out to those individuals.  

I personally believe you should start in your own backyard and find a way to make it work.

Don't start throwing ideas at them like seller financing or numbers etc until you have an idea of if they actually intend to sell and what their needs are around the sale.

As a starting point: -If they work full time and make $700k a year -Don't want to or can't spend time self managing a short-term rental -Don't have a spouse who wants to take the lead on managing the rentals They are likely not going to directly reduce their taxable income with real estate year-to-year. 

. - Prices are too high- Prices are falling- Interest rates are too high- My Cousins, Mothers, Sister told me that Real Estate is too riskyThere’s never a “perfect” time, but everyone wishes that they started sooner.
