Canadian Investors Eye Tampa’s Booming Real Estate Market
Tampa, FL – October 14, 2023 – A warm Florida breeze carried the energy of opportunity as a delegation of fifteen Canadian investors gathered at Tampa’s Bahama Breeze restaurant. The evening was charged with lively discussions about Tampa’s thriving real estate market and the many opportunities it presents for international investors.
Tampa’s appeal to Canadian investors is undeniable. The city’s economic growth, competitive property prices, and rising status as a hub for technology and commerce make it a prime location for those seeking both long-term financial growth and an exceptional lifestyle. Add Florida’s world-famous beaches and vibrant culture to the mix, and Tampa stands out as an investment hotspot.
Jorge Vazquez, CEO of Graystone Investment Group, highlighted the increasing interest from international investors. “Our Canadian partners’ enthusiasm for exploring Tampa’s real estate landscape speaks volumes about the region’s unmatched potential,” said Vazquez.
The conversations that evening extended far beyond property values and market trends. Jay Michalec, COO of Graystone Investment Group, emphasized the financial advantages Tampa offers. “Affordable rents are certainly a draw, but what really seals the deal is access to innovative financing solutions, like the DSCR loan, that make investing here significantly more accessible,” he explained.
Vanessa Martin, Director of LendingGIG, further elaborated on the financing landscape. “One of the biggest challenges Canadian investors face is restrictive and expensive lending options back home. Here, they find both affordability and financial innovation, which makes investing in Tampa a game-changer,” she noted.
Brokerage Manager Michael Kernodle gained key insights from the attending investors. “Many are motivated by the desire to secure a stable future for their families. Property prices in Canada can be prohibitive, even for high-income earners, making mortgage approvals a challenge,” Kernodle shared. “The response from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate our ‘You invest, we do the rest’ model and are actively seeking the right team to help them transition from short-term to long-term rentals in sought-after areas like Ybor, Pasco County, and the greater Tampa Bay region.”
Beyond networking, this event exemplified Graystone Investment Group’s commitment to forging lasting relationships and helping investors capitalize on Tampa’s thriving market.
