I have two newly acquired units I'm trying to rent out.

I am currently an investor here in Tampa and would love to help as much as I can with helping you acquire a property here.

It seems smaller schools athletic people are letting go people. 

Start by learning how to acquire property without using any of your money or credit.

The SBA has drastically reduced their requirements for acquiring a small business disaster relief loan.https://www.sba.gov/disaster-assistance/coronavirus-covid-19I know there are a lot of locals here on the Austin forum that make their living in the industry. 

Of course calculating CapEx, maintenance, & vacancies as expenses before acquiring a property are crucial as well and often overlooked. 

Our plans are not to stop here and acquire 3-4 more offices on that area the next 1 - 1.5 years.

If you can't acquire this loan, conventionally on your own, then find someone who could also benefit from getting in on the deal.

@Patti RobertsonI hadn’t thought of referring them to charities to acquire the security deposit.  

One thing i'd have a repair buffer of 3K-5K when you acquire it.
