Multifamily markets are tightening up. Across Florida’s major markets, investors are having to adopt creative strategies to get a competitive edge on finding deals. The same is true in other multifamily markets throughout the country. Some investors are finding luck stepping outside their comfort zone. By expanding into adjacent markets and sub-markets that show potential, you may be able to tap into an overlooked investment opportunity.

That’s exactly what our guest this week decided to do.

David Childers is a multifamily investor based out of Nashville, TN. Finding a need to expand his investment reach outside of Nashville, David started looking at tertiary markets in which to venture. His search ended up bringing him to Pensacola, FL. David found the location and proximity to his home-base and promising economic strength of Pensacola an ideal climate for his next venture.
