Chris Rawley is CEO and founder of the Harvest Returns investment platform. Over the course of visiting dozens of war-torn and poverty stricken countries during his career as a naval officer, he began to appreciate the importance of farming to every single person on earth.

Jeff Copeland is a Real Estate Investment Expert and fellow Tampa Bay resident.

Quote:
"I think there are still ways to stay competitive in [the Tampa Bay] market and one of them is the infamous Value-Ad property…negotiate and buy it based on how its performing now with a realistic plan for year 1, year 2, and what are we going to do to help it cash-flow better, generate more income, and reduce the expenses."
"Rents are always going to lag real estate prices because most leases are locked in for a year or so, and so you see them jump on an annual basis where the sales prices go up on an even curve." "One of the things we don't have in the Tampa Bay market is the high-wage jobs. We don't have the Silicon Valley in our backyard…we are still a service-based economy, a tourism-based economy, a healthcare-based economy."
