I'd let it roll to m-m and play by ear from there @Nancy Carr.  

In my newbie opinion, at least in the areas that I monitor, in order for a flipper to make good returns now, the MLS retail price of homes will need to continue to appreciate another 15-20% within the next 12 months.

I will continue to look and evaluate my options though!

I am looking for things like: - investors on the move in the area- deals happening in the area and associated parties- Also, what is happening in other markets outside of Tampa (i.e. 1-4 corridor, Panhandle, SFL, Jax)Basically I want to know the players and the games they are playing.

Also it would be good to have some extra savings for repair costs on your investment property such as a appliances breaking down, HVAC and such that would need to be fixed immediately to continue renting.

I also am continuing to pick up rentals to build my long-term portfolio.

@David Zheng You know that's kind of impossible to answer really depending on condition, rental rates, etc...but I'll play, my assumption is the condo building would be worth more because it is more likely owner occupied and have a HOA and what not.

After college I might continue with the vacation home company I am currently at or try to get into accounting.

Demand for multifamily housing is forecast to remain high, as Millennial household formation continues and Boomers seek to downsize and re-enter the rental market.

I think that it is a good mix of both of these and I am opening my self to the opportunity.Hope everyone is having a great week so far and continue to push yourself to limits that you have yet to see.
