I added value to the property by focusing on key renovations that aligned with the tastes of Hamptons buyers.

Luckily my agent lined up another buyer right away.

If you choose to go with a first time home buyer program, you would need to identify all the terms and advantage of that as MANY are available.

You want prospective tenants to come see it, walk it, imagine living there so don't get in the weeds on the details or offer photos that aren't great. 

.- I prioritize building strong, professional relationships with my buyers by taking the time to understand their needs and goals.

You will need to have the time, understand how to underwrite a real estate deal, understand how to market to buyers and sellers and have the ability to build a team on the ground in the market you choose. 

Perhaps reach out to local agents who work with a lot of buyers in your market and see if any of them need a place to rent while they house shop (inventory is still low).

So if recent results in multifamily spook a prospect offer them farmland complete with a cattle brand.

I believe that while it is a buyers market and renters market right now, these conditions will change within 5 years, because: - The long-term fundamentals that drive people to migrate to Florida remain unchanged, and a steady influx is a reasonable expectation. - Supply will abate. 2026 and 2027 will see less than half the deliveries nationwide of of 2024 and 2025, respectively, and I bet that is even more extreme in a market like Tampa.

Any advice for someone trying to buy their first duplex and house hack? I currently have a pre approval and am shopping properties and am stuck on the deal analysis side of things. I want to be able to pull the trigge...
