Rental property investment in Jacksonville, FL

[Anant Radadia]

Hello,

I am in Jacksonville area since a long time. I have a good job and want to keep that one. I am now interested in buying my own rental properties. My long term goal is to build a sizeable portfolio of rental properties (SFH, condos/apartments, multi-family).  Basically looking for good extra source of income in long term. I have my own money for first property. 

What are the initial steps that need to be taken? What companies/sources are out there that are credible and willing to work for a first-timer such as myself?  There is a lot of information out there and I would love to know from you members what strategies you have used in your real estate investing ventures. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

@Anant Radadia   Do you have an idea on what type of properties you would to purchase?  C class, B class, etc?  There are many people in Jax that will help you.  My suggestion would be to get with someone who knows that market like @Ryan Robbins   He is a friend of mine and works with a ton of investors like yourself looking to get into the business.
