Feel free to send me listings you have in mind (don't worry, not planning to buy) and I can give you an idea of the neighborhood and what's nearby. 

Hey @Graham Reblitz, For long-term rentals, I would recommend buying 20 to 40 min to the north or east of Tampa and you are going to be able to acquire decent cash-flowing properties.

A great investing agent knows those people and will have a goal of you making money so you come back to buy more. 

Assuming you bought a cash flowing rental, then that means you are leaving more in the HELOC (incoming rents) than you are taking out for that property, thereby paying off the HELOC faster, also increasing the amount credit available for you to use to buy more houses down the road.

In some cases investors were mere dishwashers and hospitality staff at the prominent Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and lured to invest buy another worker Surya Aparajita.

This isn't always their initial plan, but it often turns out to be a profitable strategy.Several clients have considered buying condos to rent due to the lower maintenance requirements.

My overall goal is to have my real estate commission checks in that company and have the new s-corp company buy units to rent. 

Where are you looking to buy, Stephan?

REIA meetings, meetups, calling the "handyman special" signs, calling the "we buy ugly houses" or the "we pay cash" billboards and signs.  

I've been involved in the construction field for over 30 years and started my own construction company in 2008 when I also started flipping houses. 8 years ago I sold the construction company and began buying and holding long term rentals.
