Hi there, I'm considering starting my fix and flip business with a first property in Tampa.

Hi @Anna Tanner, it's awesome that you're getting back into real estate!

I’m eager to dive into the local real estate scene and advance my journey in this field.

But my background and experience is in Business Development, and Marketing Strategy in close integration with sales, so I figure I at least have some transferable skills that'll allow me to make the most out of property as an asset class.

-My business partner lives in MA and has a holding company LLC incorporated in DE.

Good or bad for the City of Philadelphia and more specifically the real estate market?

Create a Solid Business Plan: Outline your investment strategy, including expected rental income, expenses, and occupancy rates.

my business is building new homes and i have 12 presales currently so just finishing those up and they will all close so rates are not affecting me. 

Well since I spent the better part of 40 years in Bay area and 15 specifically in Napa Valley and the last 20 in Lake Oswego and have done a ton of business in Yamhill county and own property in mac and all over the foothills when I was logging.
