This question is more personal.

That last one will be the hardest for me, I am not usually a social person.

I personally would not do it unless your getting a really good return on the investment.

I actively pursued personal growth by enrolling in college and graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Southern New Hampshire University (January 2025).

I've also personally owned two multi-family properties in the city.

Fund and Grow does ding your personal credit, and those inquiries will be asked about by the mortgage underwriter. 

My main reasons for buying an investment property in Tampa:-Not ready to leave Denver right now, but want to move in the next 3-5 years so want to remain flexible via renting my personal house-Rental investment property would give me some passive income on the side while I save up renting and decide if/where I want to move-Tampa property is just cheaper overall so even if I have to put more down, mortgage payment will be lower-Honestly, part of it is also just “manifesting” moving to Tampa eventually  Trace

That comes from personal experience as a landlord and working in professional property management lol

This first year of research I’ll be working on my personal finances and credit score to be ready to purchase something after that portion or preparation.Ryan 

How do I help this person and not sit with property for an extended period of time before starting construction?
