You can probably find good deals in Tampa right now, but I'd be very strategic about where you buy and yes, insurance and taxes can be killer, but there are plenty of investors there and for good reason. 

If you are looking for a more laid back and roundtable type discussion of all things real estate, you are more than welcome to join us every Tuesday morning on Zoom or Thursday morning at Kairos Coffee where we discuss everything from assumable loans, to creative buying strategies, to landlord tenant laws and pretty much everything in between! 

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am looking to invest first time with a turnkey developer,  who is buying the land and building a multi unit commercial retail center and some apartments.

Each investment property that you buy is eligible.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

., oh and BTW, the "we buy ugly houses" people you spoke to were likely wholsalers!

If you buy an investment property with your IRA, most require a non-recourse loan.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I am interested in buying a long-term turnkey property in a nice area (I live in San Diego so this property would have to be out of state).

Are you leaning toward a specific strategy like buy-and-holds, flips, or house hacking?
