Focus on getting the first one and try to buy one a year. 

In your case, you are probably better off buying a break-even deal in Tampa then a deal with $200 cash flow OOS.

@Keyshawn Johnson I'll connect via messages, but for the broader community:• What should I know about buying property in Destin? 

It's also rare you buy these properties with 20-25% and have NOTHING you need to address almost immediately in terms of repairs or capex. 

These included cash buys for flips, seller financing, and subject-to deals.

What's up everybody Me and my wife are looking to buy a house out in Suffolk.

@Sean Dillon figure out how to buy a 2-4 unit with FHA loan.Then rent at least one of the units long-term for stable cashflow.Try STR in another unit as well as the other bedrooms in the unit you live in.You may even consider living in the basement, attic or worse unit in the building to rent everything else out and max cashflow. 

I dont buy from home depot that often .

Whether you are a veteran looking to buy a home or an investor seeking the right funding for your next deal, I am here so put me to work.  

@Derick JenningsRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
