The Storm-Prep Division: Assigning Lanes for a Secure Hurricane Season in Tampa Bay

June 1st marks a massive convergence for real estate investors in Florida. On one hand, we are in the absolute thick of peak moving season, historically the busiest window for tenant transitions and lease renewals. On the other hand, it is the official kickoff of the Atlantic hurricane season.
