And if you will notice, the old chicks who are super-star agents were also the pretty ones 30 years ago.

@Dan McCarthy Hey Dan—I’m a newbie investor in Philly looking to add to my All-Star Team too.

Welcome aboard Wesley, as Sabrina said this site is pretty amazing.

That said, I've gotten and given referrals for my rock-star contractors, I want them to stay in business, and to remember me when I call them for help, so just asking other landlords and rehabbers for referrals works pretty well, as does asking for help in finding sources for materials for the same reason - the niche suppliers like the molding store I buy from don't make much money off me, and they're about a third the cost of the depot, so I pass their numbers out at every opportunity to keep them alive.

William if you are still looking for realtors, let me know I work in Wesley Chapel, and know a bunch of realtors that could be of help to you. 

I suggest working with a rock-star attorney and CPA to determine where the best cost-benefit is for you.

It is a great networking event, and next month's special guest is my friend and rock-star @John Casmon 

Hi All,Looking to invest in first rental property around TAMPA area .. shortlisted areas - Brandon, Lutz, Wesley chapel & land o lakes and have couples of questions –-Anyone who invest in Tampa what you think about the shortlisted areas and any other areas you suggest?

I am pretty lost in this whole space but I know I definitely want to star investing into real estate.

If the stars align, you can realize positive cash flow while taking a passive loss for tax purposes.
