Market Analysis: 33610 Tampa

Not every below-median market is a bargain. Tampa's 33610 ZIP comes in at signals that favor experienced operators who can absorb the risk $280K pricing implies.

Rent of $1,837/mo on a $280K basis reads well until vacancy, delinquency, and capex enter the model. The honest cap rate in 33610 sits below the stated 0.0% once reality is priced in.

Within FL, ZIP 33610 trails on several market indicators that neighboring Hillsborough County submarkets outperform. The gap is real and impressive enough to shape underwriting.

Employment concentration in 33610 leans toward sectors with higher volatility. The demographic consequence is income fluctuation that investors need to factor into their pro forma.

New investors are better served looking at Tampa's stable or hybrid ZIPs before stepping into 33610. The learning curve here is expensive when the lesson is wrong.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 5.1%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (5.1%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
