@Upen Patel I messaged you back.

Hi John,I just sent you a message.

I actually have the message from Rachel to contact you so I'll give you a shout tomorrow!  

Long story short my husband is a member of an online community but for music fans, and online argument turned into one of their members "doxxing" him - basically looking for his online information outside of the message board.  

@Jimmy Watson - I'll send you a message as well.

If you have existing equity you may walk-out with a little cash or no money out of pocket -- (this is a maybe, we do not have enough facts yet)Instead of financing your next purchase with money out of pocket, use the equity in your existing property to open a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit), use this inexpensive capital to fund your purchase and then later refinance to a permeant loan after construction and new enhanced value.

Tampa is a good area, but deals are getting harder and harder to find, but there are still some good ones if you put your time in and know the area, wholesalers and how to spot a good deal.I recommend going to one of the local REIA meetings and meeting like minded individuals, also meeting contractors like my self that deal with mainly investors, there are a lot of contractors that will take advantage of someone they know is new to the area a doesn't know they don't know.When you get here, message me and I can always point you in the right direction in the way of your rehab and with contractors, get you to a REAI meeting and introduce you to some wholesalers.Again welcome to BP, and look forward to seeing you when you get here.

not what I wanted but it has enhanced my skills and enabled me to learn more about real estate then I could have from a book.  

If you would like to talk more about investing message me
