Multifamily Real Estate in Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is our home market: Elite Strategies Consulting Group (ESCG) is headquartered in Apollo Beach.

Through Skilled Property Finders we buy and operate multifamily here, and we are actively buying. Our first Tampa acquisition is 18 units in Drew Park, and the work there is still under way.

Based in Tampa Bay, with active operations in Northeast Pennsylvania, ESCG serves rental-property owners and operators across the country.

An active project, in the open

Part of the Drew Park property on North Hubert Avenue, Tampa, as it is now: white rendered walls with black trim, low porch walls with a black cap, and covered entries on timber posts.
As bought, and now. Still in progress.
  • A renovated unit at Drew Park: new kitchen with white cabinets, a stainless refrigerator still in its protective film, a range, and light wood-look flooring.
  • A renovated bathroom at Drew Park: walk-in shower with large marble-look tiles, a new toilet and a white vanity with black fixtures.
  • A renovated bedroom at Drew Park: white walls, two new windows, a ceiling fan and light wood-look flooring.

Why a finished renovation isn’t “stabilized” yet: Martin’s post on this building

Our home market

Tampa Bay is where ESCG is based. We opened here with an 18-unit acquisition on North Hubert Avenue, and we are actively buying.

What we buy is the same in both markets: 20 to 150 units of Class B and C workforce housing that is underperforming, under-managed or carrying deferred maintenance. The work does not put us off. It is the reason we are interested.

After we buy, professional, service-oriented management goes in from day one. Long tenancy is the whole economic model, so keeping residents is in our own interest.

See everything we buy, and how

We don’t flip. We don’t speculate. We acquire, improve, and hold.
