I'm seeking references for a few great rehab contractors in the Tampa Bay region.

I'm currently based in Logrono where prices are much more affordable but am also looking in the Valencia region.

There are several myths that we have to debunk before someone truly believes they can do it.You need millions of dollars to do a dealThat it’s too complicated to figure outThat permitting takes yearsIn those communities developments cost way less (think a couple hundred thousand along with a loan from a regional bank), permitting is not difficult (much less red tape), and the towns are small enough that both the city staff and the local architects and engineers and contractors all work with you to help you navigate the process since you’re all invested in making your community better.Note: The big boys can play in the primary & secondary markets.

That might be regional.

For it’s part, Fannie Mae historically has focused more on purchasing mortgages from larger financial institutions, while Freddie Mac was originally designed to support smaller/regional/thrift institutions.

I realize there are Regional differences.

I’ve been looking into areas like Oakhurst, Mariposa, Yosemite West, and surrounding towns.If you own or manage a vacation rental in this region, I’d love to hear about your experience.

These regions offer affordable prices for most investors, with homes that are turnkey—either newly constructed or fully renovated, tenant-ready, and with systems that still have 10+ years of life remaining.

Not sure how far regionally they lend to but that is one in my area that will do investment property. 

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.
