After 20 years in real estate (before DSCR loans were even around), here’s my take: Tampa and Central Florida are gold mines if you play it smart.

Myself on my own and working with my dad we flipped everything we only bought props with substantial equity that we could resell As fast as possible with my dads company doing mainly wraps as dispo on short term notes .. so the sellers were out of the deals with in 24 to 36 months..

I bought one home in JAX a year ago. 

Just a update, i bought a new build SFH in Rancho Cordava for 560K and rented out for $2900.

A colleague of mine has bought two properties owner-occupied back to back in Arlington (with a 5% rate and a 7% rate) doing basement conversions and renting rooms, lowering his effective monthly payment on each property to sub 2K each time.

I bought this house brand new as my home, but I had to move out.

The tenant was in the building when I bought it (I've owned the building for 2 months) and he claims to have an insurance policy covering them.My insurance company is saying they'll drop my policy on the building if the pitbulls are there even with the tenant's insurance policy.The dogs are very sweet but the tenant lets them run free and they often go into the neighboring property, resulting in 4 malicious animal violations from animal control in the past year.Any thoughts on how I should handle?  

But I bought my first house at 19 and kept going.  

Then I started to contact brokers that bought and sold Apartments complexes and proceeded to 1031 exchange all my Condos for Apartment complexes and told my story on BP Podcast 238 in 2017.  

I love the idea of financing land flipping since so few do it and I think it's the lowest bar to entry for investors who can hustle and are good with systems and calling (gold mine).
