They're building apartments/homes everywhere here in Tampa, which leads me to believe that the market here is going to be over saturated.However, I am no expert so there's a lot I could learn. 

It's inspiring to see how these opportunities can lead to substantial profits for both the investor and the client.

(Auctions and foreclosures can also provide great leads.)With $20K, hard money loans are a practical option, as they emphasize a property’s ARV over your financial history.

The problem is, everybody puts together deals they think are good, but in my experience as a lead underwriter, asset manager, and now fund manager, I throw out 99% of deals that are put in front of me.Listen to podcasts about passive investments and how to conduct due diligence as an LP. 

Any leads on investor friendly agents in the area would be much appreciated!

My friend spent $81,000 on marketing and told me he could not trace one sale to a lead generated by the program and that the program generated almost no leads anyway.  

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

What may the property be worth then and how much cashflow might it be generating?

The decisions and actions you make today can lead to incredible long-term benefits, so it's great that you're starting now.A good starting point is connecting with a lender that aligns with your goals.

The fact is that anyone who takes, leads, or carries away the property of another with the intent to convert it to their own use or deprive the owner of it is committing a crime.
