Specifically the college grads stick around to work there and it's heavy in the tech scene. 

That means more potential tenants for you.Diverse Offerings: Whether it's the sand, the festivals, or the food, there's always something happening.Ever-evolving: With ongoing projects and fresh developments, Tampa's investment scene is always fresh.Home Options: From sleek urban pads to comfy homes, you've got options.University Drive: USF ensures a constant influx of students a great rental market.Ease of Commuting: Tampa's connectivity, both within and outside, is a huge pull.However, as always, my best advice?

Brand new to the REI scene here - I've been on a knowledge bender for the past two months, and I am ready to go see the first property of the many that I've analyzed/calculated with would be a 20% COC, 9% CAP, after my soon-to-be-offer on an off market property...

We see some new construction (Mid-rises, SFR, Etc), also a vibrant bar & restaurant scene on Mamaroneck and Main Street but some of the areas look depressed.

In the rental scene when things happen you need to address them sooner rather than later.

They communicate with each other behind the scenes.

It's a good move that you're stepping into the real estate scene with a comfortable six-unit building.

Broad ripple is very sought after due to its quaint little shops and "downtown" bar scene.

Unless you REALLY know the local scene, and can REALLY trust your turnkey provider, who's to say spending over $65k WILL get you a better neighborhood than those $45k ones?...
