Tampa Bay has always been desirable - the prices are just catching up to the demand.

Are you in a place where you want to continue to grow and increase your cashflow or have you been in this for a while, have cashflow that satisfies you, and do not desire to acquire many more units?

When you increase the rents for the 20 units you immediately increase the value of the building e.g. 20 x $30 = $600 per month additional income X 12 months = $7200 per year X GM 18 = $129,000 the amount you just increased the value of the building plus the additional $7200 per year = a total profit the first year = $129,000 + $7200 = $132,200 + the cashflow you was already earning and I will guess it was $200 per month for each unit = = $4,000 per month x 12 months = $48,000 per year.

Maybe the location is not desirable but you put a home like that near a destination hotspot and you would be looking at much higher revenue. 

The key along that route is to use the money you earn in a job like that to get certifications to qualify you for the next higher-paying job. 

Maybe your desire to make money is hindering your ability to objectively see what's available.
