Consistency is KEY when it comes to Real Estate Marketing. 

I've been an IT and Construction project manager for years so I've put together a really good team consisting of multiple general contractors, real estate agents, social media consultant, wholesalers and a local design firm to complete our home layout and design elements.

I just want to chime in because I broker a lot deals with investors, and you can do better... but it is important to note that is consistent with where the market is right now for many investors and your relationship and experience with the lender is important as well... might not be worth burning a bridge or hard feelings over a quarter percent... just my thoughts.I'd also pay attention to the posts by Jay H. as well, as he makes great points.

Once you determine your financial number (number that covers all your expenses and a little more for fun) and you can consistently bring that in on a monthly basis then you can look at some more active investments that you enjoy. 

In order to do that, I need to invest consistently, but not aggressively.

I am also new to Tampa two years and to me seems to be consistent. 

Always available, calm, and consistent.

As we all know, each house is unique, each project comes with its own surprises and labor is not always consistent.

And yes, consistency is key when it comes to real estate. 

Interested to see if anyone has any realisitic ways to combat this because we haven't found any that work consistently yet.
