I've been concentrated in Pinellas County, but open to areas of Tampa if wise.  

There are small pockets in which they mostly concentrate.

NOT the internet or ANYONE selling how to sub to..

Any of the big national ones or "internet lenders".

Many in OZ did not realize all the information that could be found for free on the internet..

Agree with @Jaron Walling - forget what a stranger on the internet that, in my case, lives several states away says and ask questions of the two guys that you know that have 165 combined units in your market. 

I would be willing to help - but you know you need a lawyer - taking advice from people on the internet is not a great business decision.

The mom and pop landlord that I rented from (by my calculation and internet research) owned about 50 doors and had for a long time.

It was similar during COVID and the eviction moratorium.The process I followed is simple and virtually eliminates guessing and luck and has three steps:Identify a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable people.

MUST have team walk it for them and provide the reno NOT just sit on the internet and think you are learning.
