I haven't done any loans in Florida on buy and hold deals yet, so I can't recommend any banks unfortunately...But my buy & hold borrowers elsewhere always refi me out using small local banks, not the big guys.If you need some hard money to make this happen, feel free to give me a call!

Feel free to reach out if you need any advice. 

Speaking of which, please feel free to message me the address.

It feels like the GC is treating this major gut rebuild as an after though, or side gig, and not prioritizing it in relation to other jobs he has.

We want to buy single family homes for rent.If Tampa isn’t a good idea, please feel free to recommend areas in Florida.Thanks in advance

I feel it's important to understand the laws of an area before you choose to invest there.

I am under contract for 3 properties, however there is one thing about it, one of them, its located in South Memphis zip 38109 (Mallory area).I know I know I live in Memphis, I know that the area is bad, however I am feeling that the market it pushing investors towards the hoods of memphis because it is getting expensive (even Frayser is getting crazy expensive which I find crazy), I did a few visits in that specific neighborhood and I honestly didn't feel it was really really bad as the rest of South Memphis, I am really not worried about tenants paying on time in my rentals because I always focus on Section8.Was wondering what are peoples insight in regards to investing in those areas with section8 tenants?

So, with that said I feel like I should try to find some off market properties to see if I can find cheaper deals that way.

NO commute issues and small town feel and 45 minutes to the beach. 30 minutes or less downtown. 

I feel like this is too high for me to pay for just one 1099.
