It’s a great time to dive in, especially with the strong rental demand in Tampa.

Hi guys,I bought my family home 3 years ago and looking to get my first SFR investment property.

There wasn't a firm decision that he made at that point in time, hence things were undecided and unsettled. and not at any point in time, Tenant sent a written letter of move out intent/notice until recently, mid-August '24, when I got the first written "move out notice" from him via "email" that he ll vacate the house on Sept 01 and that the payment will be left on the counter.

I'm planning on quitting soon, moving back home for a little and taking a few months in between my next job to pursue my first investment.My rough idea for an investing strategy is:  long-term, not necessarily looking for high cashflow (just want to start building equity), quality deals > amt. of doors, Class A/B neighborhoods mainly for low vacancy. 

I've never seen a Private Lender agree to a HELOC since typically they want to be in first position. 

It was my first and only investment and has overall been a really challenging and discouraging experience.

To hire an attorney to go after the city will cost you 10 times the amount that you’re owed.

I am ready to retire and looking to invest again to occupy my time when I retire.

👋  So excited to announce that I have just closed on my first Property, a Triplex in Pittsburgh, Pa.  

I'm navigating the process of purchasing a rental property for the first time and would love to hear the forum conversation insights.
