They now have a dumpster in front of it with plans to empty out the house in an attempt to make it more appealing when it gets on MLS.

Your goals need to align with whoever your potential investors are.I would schedule a call with a securities attorney, such as @Kim Lisa Taylor to walk through your structure, returns, and business plan, especially if this is your first syndication.There will be demand for your type of deal, especially investors who want a flight to quality in this part of the market cycleGino

Lock down a plan, and be prepared to execute when you get here!

Connect with other investors and make sure you always have a solid plan.

Ok I will check those websites out, Thank you.There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

Are you planning on venturing OOS or staying in your backyard?

I don’t have any specific issue to deal with at this time, but I want to get to know the attorney and their experience and skill set.

I know there's some unincorporated in Pinellas County, but I know of none in TB proper...Tampa Bay Area not specifically Tampa 👍 What areas and product do you find rents best in Tampa? 

@Wayne LeeI don't know the Cincinnati market specifically, but if you're not finding anything that cash flows... you're probably analyzing it correctly. 

and my real estate is actually fairly liquid, if i listed at the right price (which I don't intend to, since I plan to hold forever, but if I did) i could sell fairly quickly.
