Quote from @Daniel Reed: @Jonathan Greene So, are you suggesting that this issue is indeed driving investors away from Florida?

Try driving for dollars.

I'm looking forward into developing my roots in the community! 

Yes, even during the festive season, the real estate world doesn’t take a break.Let me share two stories that drive home the importance of acting quickly in this business.The $40k Christmas Miracle: A few Christmas mornings ago, one of our rockstar team members, was enjoying some holiday downtime with his family.

It takes me 10~ minutes to get on Lake Shore drive, then it's pretty easy to navigate the city. 

Low prices enable more people to buy, limiting demand for rental properties so rents decline (in inflation-adjusted dollars).Population Growth: In areas with growing populations, demand outpaces supply, driving up property prices.

Landlord drives by on the 1st of each month and collects.

Plus, the population growth and job market around Tampa keep driving rental stability, making it a solid choice for both cash flow and long-term equity.

Your drive and vision will take you far wishing you the best on this exciting journey.

I sell mostly turnkey Airbnb properties both subject to and conventional, and the buyers list is deep!
