Hello Maya, I highly recommend connecting with @Jorge Vazquez, since he is a long time investor in Tampa and broker. 

These lists come up all the time with long term top of the market, etc etc and it changes every 6 months.

This is exactly what we are talking about relationship.. and why do I do that ..

I'm giving myself a year to learn all I can and save up a down payment for my first long-term rental in my local area.

We are happy to assist 

I will not be able to do a cashout refi with a conventional lender for 12 months, and although Fannie and Freddie require a 12 month seasoning period for cashout refi's, it seems most convetional lenders, even in a straight out refinance (with no cash out) require 12 months as a policy.Does anyone have any recommendations for long term lenders that will balloon me out on a long term loan?

I've heard that as long as I'm outside of the city limits I should do ok.

How long does it take to walk the property; how long does it take to get there?

Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying the long weekend, I am from Regina, SK, And fairly new to Real Estate Investing.

While it may work out, it sounds like a real long shot especially with the splits and fees as they are!
