The property consists of four studio apartments and seven, one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartments of varying sizes.  Tenants enjoy off-street parking and access to the laundry facility at a neighboring property.

This high barriers-to-entry submarket is a haven for young professionals, and offers ease of access to major employment centers in downtown Tampa and the Westshore Business District.    There are also plenty of shopping, dining and entertainment destinations along South Howard Avenue and Bayshore Boulevard. 

“West Bay was a value-add offering located in a Class A, Hyde Park (South Tampa) location,” says Ravi.

 “The buyer, through our in-house mortgage brokerage division, was able to secure acquisition financing, plus an additional $100,000 for immediate repairs which should allow him to improve the overall appearance, upgrade the units and in turn raise the rents,” concludes Ravi.
