@Jeremy Kloter @Doug Smith @Josh Green@Keith Turney - I have family living there and have pretty good idea about the Lithia/fish hawk area ,am looking for SFRs in good school districts and tend to finance in a way that it cashflows and Lithia fits that ,I don't mind going out to the Tampa Bay Area but its just that I have a good team in Lithia and also family , any recommendations on property managers, lenders and investor friendly real estate agents in Tampa Bay area, please DM me

In fact difficult sales environments often create more advantageous and creative solutions to conventional terms. 

Ok, I'll take you on that. 6% MPY note.Some markets will still fall, but fundamentally housing will be the most premium market once we get out of the peak fed funds rate environment (still not there).

This is a risk-off environment, and you want to be ready to move when the time comes.

In the current environment (recession, stagflation) it may be that trade skills are more important than investor skills, and combining these skills has always been a plus.

If you're considering moving into your dream home, I would like to speak to you about buying your existing residence......IMO, before I seek any business relationship with a client or customer, they need to be in a position to be a customer not a suspect but a prospect.Direct mail is fishing.

This equity can be either left alone in the property or later tapped via sale or cash out refinance if you need or chose to.Tax shelter in the form of deductible mortgage interest.Personal preference to have a place to call your own, provide a more solid environment for your family, an asset you can leave to your children, etc.And to those who say that LA does not cash flow well, I disagree ...

I imagine your bank wont want to lend more than the property is worth in the current rate environment so you can use that to your benefit as well. 

We are buy and hold investors... but made quite a few moves given the high appreciation environment.  

Maybe it does, if you have a lot of reserves to back it up, but the utility of the extra 100k which is taxed at a higher marginal tax rate may not be all that worth it in this environment.
