I haven’t been to Tampa in a while so maybe it’s different but when I was previously there with the military they only told us one area to avoid....ybor city....Also with the building being 15 years old you’re most likely coming up on some big ticket fixes

So let's answer some of your questions specifically now:I "left" LA during my research phase in pursuit of a "more promising" market, but the math behind the numbers led me back to LA.

What branch of the military were you in? 

Alcon,Military soldier needing help buying my first duplex, my credit not that good (student loan)

Hello All,I have a friend who is out of the military with a DD214.

I will settle down on my partnerships before I exit my "due diligence" phase as written in the accepted offer.

My real estate goals include; developing a portfolio of small-mid sized multi family units to the point that I am able to pay for school, phase out my job, and begin tackling real estate by scaling full time.

First and foremost thank you for your service for both yourself as military and your spouse in law enforcement.  

Short background...I purchased my first home approximately 1 year ago utilizing a VA loan with the intent of renovating during my owner-occupied time in order to step into an additional property this year so that when I leave/PCS (i'm active duty military), i'd have at least 2 properties providing a passive income.

I have alot of free time for the next 8 months because I just separated from the military but wife still has time left at her duty station.
