December 1, 2016 By Mary Catchur

Tampa, FL homes and mortgagesTampa homebuyers and Realtors alike are financially affected by the health of the overall real estate market. So homeowners, as well as real estate professionals, should take notice to the news that GObankingrates.com ranked Tampa the 2nd best city in the U.S. to own investment property in 2016.

Survey Criteria

In September of 2016, GOBankingRates.com released its ranking for the best and worst cities to own investment property.

Four main factors were considered by GOBankingRates.com when evaluating 61 of the 100 most populous cities in the U.S.

  • Employment growth: Year-over-year percent change in the number of employed people.
  • Population growth: Year-over-year percent change in the population.
  • Increase in home values: Year-over-year percent change in the median home value.
  • Years to pay off investment property: Number of years it would take for rental income to pay off the median home value.

Tampa’s Survey Results

Here are Tampa’s survey results whereby it earned the #2 ranking among the best U.S. cities to own investment property.

  • Employment growth:5%
  • Population growth:51%
  • Increase in home values:6%
  • Years to pay off investment property:9.66

GOBankingRates.com Comments on Tampa

In its comments about Tampa, GOBankingRates.com mentioned that Tampa has one of the hottest real estate markets in the U.S. today.

Survey comments also mentioned Tampa’s population growth by 2.51% from 2014 to 2015, and its employment growth rate of 3.5%. Tampa home values were of particular interest, increasing 11.6% since last year.

Of special interest, the GOBankingRates.com survey mentioned that Tampa’s median home value compared to its median rent of $1,400 per month, shows it would take fewer years to pay off owning the property from tenants’ rent.

As a result of these factors, Tampa earned the #2 spot among best cities in the U.S. to own investment property.

Tampa Mortgages

Getting a mortgage in Tampa is easy when using an experienced mortgage broker to help you though the process.

It takes just a few minutes over the phone to be pre-qualified for a mortgage in Tampa, and then you can begin working with a Realtor as a qualified buyer. While you look for a home, your mortgage broker will walk you through the longer process of being pre-approved for a mortgage.

Once you are pre-approved, the lender will request a few more things, which your mortgage broker will help you accomplish. Then you’ll receive a “clear to close,” and the lender will send the paperwork for closing to the title company/closing agent.

    Refinancing with Mary an absolute pleasure

     
    Refinancing with Mary has been an absolute pleasure. I have never been through the process before and she took the time to explain each step. She was prompt (had a rate locked in right away) and most importantly always answered the phone or emails almost immediately! The communication line alone made the refinancing process every bit worth it. Would recommend to anyone, and will be back for any future purchases! Bret Brennan, March 2021
