@Sam ChicquenSam, little late to this but I’m an investor/agent based out of Tampa Florida.I like Tampa and the surrounding markets for its cash flow and appreciation potential.There are still a ton of mom and pop investors that own commercial multi (5+) and I’ve had some good luck connecting with these owners and purchasing from them.The last deal I did was a commercial off-market value-add multifamily and was able to secure seller financing.Downside is flood insurance has gone crazy down here and can really kill some deals.Happy to help you with your search.

I have yet to see that the concept of GP - LP alignment exists at all, nor has anyone ever produced evidence (that I’ve seen) that co-invest, or anything else for that matter, has aligned interests, produced better results, or led to better decisions.I think if investors can come to terms with that, and make their investment decision based on facts that actually matter, they might avoid more trouble.  

I'm Miami based as well.

I'd consider using the services of STR Search.
