Thanks Luka,I'm sure you can find a banger deal in Tampa or almost anywhere for that fact.Just work the market.Nothing works unless you do lolFor example, we buy a $#%@ load of motivated seller lists and my remote team cold calls all day.They are polite, professional and persistent on the phone.Keeping good record and track everything.I'm confident that if we re-target any other market in the US, we could find deals at 30-50% of market value.Just gotta smile and dial lolAll the best mate

I am not sure what tools you are using for your cash flow projections but it's possible to have a property that does not cash flow year 1 but will in year 2 or 3 and so on based on average historical appreciation in Austin TX. 

Show up to court on time, have all of your paperwork ready, be polite and professional, stick to the facts. 

Despite the high prices, politics, and taxes, people still desire to live there.

But for those who do, it offers an opportunity to be part of something transformational—creating a model where real estate serves as a tool for building people, communities, and lasting value.I’d love to hear from others who’ve worked on long-term, mission-driven projects.

There are several hurdles during the process:Find the deal - Unless you are marketing or plugged into a community where there are opportunities, it isn't always easy to find the right dealsEvaluate the deal - Without professional guidance and research tools, it is difficult for a newbie investor to evaluate and ARV/FMV or create an adequate rehab budgetSecondary exit strategies - If things don't go as planned are their other opportunities to exit profitably.

I utilize a PO Box as well.It wouldn't be hard for our tenants to find out where we live (tax assessor's online tool) ~ But for $50/yearly ... it gives me a bit more piece of mind :)
