Rent in Saint Petersburg is high...

Posters will chime in on recommended strategy but real estate is extremely localized and the fundamentals of the real estate in any given market are what should be dictating your investment strategy not arbitrarily deciding to buy single family homes vs. duplexes. 

I am located at Central Florida area, and I believe that even with the high prices, higher interest rates and huge supply of real state down here, still out here many great opportunities.The market still hot, we just need to adjust the approach..... at least are my guts feelings.v/r

Hi @Sabuj Banerjee,In general, in the Southwest FL markets, cash flow for SFH's is expected to be slightly negative at current interest rates, so I would recommend starting with a multifamily propertyNew construction duplexes can be found in both Lehigh Acres and Cape Coral.

Quote from @Jason Kornreich: New to the site. 

If you aren't in a position to invest in a wholesaling coaching program right now, I'd recommend searching Youtube for free guidance.

I'd recommend a first time home buyer loan while looking into any down payment grants you may be eligible for in that area.

That is highly irregular in the industry!

I highly recommend this over adding anything else.
