@Mike Vu did you end up investing in one of his deals?

They will let you know what you can and can't do without a permit and what you are able to do yourself within the scopes of those permits.My concern is because this is a rental, if you do anything that is not to code and the tenant reports it, you will likely have some much bigger issues to deal with.Given you note this is major rehab, I tend to lean to hire most, if not all, out. 

Big deal out here is going to be buying ammo..

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Would love to connect and help you with finding some on/off market deals and introducing you to property managers.

To only invest $5k into the deal with those returns is fantastic. 

I would fist run the numbers to see if it is a good deal at the price and everything else, and then I would drive down the streets to see if you see any licensed contractor signs/trucks.

Since you're already in Tampa, staying local for your first few deals can help you stay hands-on and learn faster.

have you closed some deals?

Took a different direction once I noticed the Houston slime agents.
