EP 27: How Tampa is Recovering After Two Hurricanes with Joey Long

Both Hurricane Helene and Milton gave the Tampa Bay region a beating. This is a saturated Real Estate market that has been an epicenter for growth in recent years. Joey Long walks us through what is happening post-storms and we specifically dive into how house buyers can help in the aftermath. Courtney and Joey cover many topics in their conversations but some you'll want to pay attention to are: -his experiences with Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton -a Tampa area folklore about Native American Mounds and how they play a role with the hurricanes -what the FEMA 50% rule is and why it matters -what listings and rentals are seeing post-storm -the nasty insurance crisis and what might happen next -how investors and buyers are reacting to the storms -how to not be a shark after a natural disaster and tips for investors who want to help -among other important conversation pieces An article about the Indian Mound situation: https://www.yourtango.com/news/native-american-burial-ground-protect-tampa-hurricanes. His post: "LET US TRY TO HELP YOU KEEP YOUR HOUSE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO SELL!!!! If you know of someone considering selling their house after the storm, please reach out to me. We have some fantastic connections from workers, to roofers, to appraisers than can potentially help with fema valuations. DO NOT MAKE AN UNEDUCATED DECISION. We are still buying houses when people are in absolute need of selling, but selling to us should be last resort!!!! Our community needs HELP, not sharks." We hope you enjoyed the conversation and got something out of it to help you on your journey. MORE ABOUT JOEY: Joey Long is an active investor and meetup host in St. Petersburg, FL.
