What areas in or near Tampa, are a good place to purchase an investment property? 

Hi all, new here at the forum and thank you all for all the knowledge you guys share…its amazing.I am interested in this question as well as we just got back into this from like 10 years ago, few things have changed for us, and the main one is finding deals with whole sellers, sometimes the price looks good, but once we add numbers we are currently seeing that everyone else in the deal makes tons of more money than us….for instance, we have checked properties now, where we pay closing cost, interest on a portion of the borrowed money, commissions after selling the property, etc and we see 30-40k going out on all of this,  then we barely make a 20k profit or less on a property of 200k …many of the deal we found we barely get close to a 10-15% of the initial purchased price, which to me sounds like a lot of hassle and my wife says that i am getting old and too picky :)i keep saying that ideally we should shoot for 15-25% profit from the purchase price…if i get a property at 200k and the rehab is 50 and everyone else makes 30k then we should at least net out 30k as well.

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

I’m looking for advice and insights from more experienced investors who have experience with turnkey providers or purchasing remotely.

Run an Opco/Propco model.If your business utilizes real estate as part of ongoing operations you can get all the tax benefits of active RE by having the building purchase and hold the RE.3.

@Paul Azad weather the juice is worth the squeeze depends on the specific deal and details.

Purchase price: $180,000 Cash invested: $75,000 I purchased land near the ski resorts to build short-term rentals.

I was wondering if anyone has purchased this program. 

I have found 25 Storage Units I can purchase for 125000, with 20 units rented out.

We're currently looking to purchase a property for <$500K so Phoenix is not a good fit necessarily for this first investment, but may consider increasing our target price for future purchases.
