Current Flood Zone risks in Tampa do not look good for those who Gamble with political opinions and do not understand the science of your Risk of flood. https://experience.arcgis.com/...

I usually have my assistants watch over the rehabs and make sure that they are being done correctly with the paint and flooring that I have chosen, etc.  

Couldn't pay me to gamble on the outcome of that mess.

You may have already chosen a course but I wanted to add that Tony Mesa has an amazing cram video package with outline. 99 dollars or free if you take the whole course online.

Then one STR unit, despite being an STR since 1999, did not get chosen in the STR lottery that went into effect in May.Location of property: Mission beach duplex.Occupancy rate: last year had long down time for rehab.   

That is a losing gamble in my opinion.I agree that a recession is in our future, but I don't think it will be a house buying opportunity.

As an investor buying at these prices and taking a negative cash flow loss each month and praying for appreciation is not investing its gambling.  

However, she could have chosen to own 4 duplexes with 75% LTV and had 4x the appreciation.

Within the next 3 months, I had 12 properties insured with them, I met the owner at a networking event a couple months later and we developed a great relationship.I am now blessed to be able to combine my passion for helping others, real estate investing and offering tangible value to my fellow investors, regardless of chosen strategy, by offering something we all truly need.Can you sense that I get excited about this??

If the market isn't right for selling, hold onto it and keep collecting checks until it recovers.If you buy for appreciation, it's a true gamble.
