Hey Rafael, as someone who's been investing in Florida for 20 years, especially in Tampa, I'd say you can’t go wrong with focusing on this market—it’s got strong appreciation, great rental demand, and tax-friendly opportunities.

And that my friend, is why my 1.2M is legit sitting still lol Dont want to make the wrong decision! 

@Patricia Andriolo-BullStessa is an excellent platform for tracking income and expenses for investors; it is user-friendly.

I funded this with US cash, as well as a loan with a Canadian bank.I have shared this process with many friends and other real estate buddies that commended my journey.

The owner is friend of mine, really good dude.

One of my friend happens to be a RE agent, landlord and a property manager himself and he seems to feel that as long as she pays rent on time and does not create nuisance, not to worry much and just keep do a quarterly property inspection.

While some agents have legitimate pocket listings (like selling between friends or family members), without a presence on major platforms, it's difficult to verify legitimacy.

That’s the kind of agent you want in your corner, especially in a competitive market like San Antonio.While I haven’t worked with him directly, I’ve spoken with an investor friend who did.

DSCR loans are going to be your best friend in this case. 

I'm SURE you mis-spoke and meant to say, he's a close friend that I am trying to help but it was not my intention to "fix his credit".Debt Relief and Credit Repair Scams"The FTC has brought scores of law enforcement actions against these bogus credit-related services, and the agency has partnered with the states to bring hundreds of additional lawsuits"SOME CASEShttps://www.ftc.gov/news-events/topics/consumer-finance/debt...Financial Education Services (August 5, 2024 )Panda Benefit Services, LLC., FTC v.
