What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

view=public What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I don't feel like it is in the growth trajectory of the metroplex yet.   

I'm not disagreeing that changes should have been made, I'm in favor of them.

I'm a longtime listener of the BP show but have never made a post on the forums before today.

How do tenants feel about shared living spaces versus more private accommodations?

Sorry to hear this.I would always say that "There is nothing wrong with any property as long as the price is right".Granted, some are not salvageable and the deal doesn't make sense even if the seller paid to me to take it lolOver the past 10 years I have witnessed many investors trying to do the same thing as you.Purchase from afar without buying turnkey and trying to do it themselves.This has been popular especially the last few years.Not many succeed unfortunately or they don't succeed in my eyes as they are into deals for much more than what they should be.There is a big trend going on where folks are made to "feel involved" with the purchase, rehab and property management process.The properties look great and off-course they do as rehabs cost $40,000 - $50,000.It doesn't sound like a lot of money for folks from CA and NY but for our local standards it is and IMO kills the cashflow and is unnecessary overcapitalization.Each to their own I guess.Just had a call the other week with a fellow from CA that bought a few turd properties from a local scam artist and is flying to town to try and rehab them himself.Another fella I managed to save even tho he lost his deposit of $1,000 as the seller (Another known scam artist) made him commit to the deal without allowing an inspection or even a walkthrough...If that isn't a red flag then I don't know what is 🤷‍♂️Hat's off to you for flying into to town to see the property for yourself.Wishing you much success

How do you feel about the area just south of downtown Saint Pete now that the Tropicana project has been approved?

Feel free to reach out if you need any advice.

The property is in central Florida and Debby made landfall in northern Florida.
