Jacksonville specific repairs for real estate properties
Hi,
Jacksonville is an area that I'm looking at and I was wondering if a local can help me out with this question.
Background: I live in Toronto, Canada and the city here back in the day filled up a part of lake and allowed developers to build homes. As a result of that, whenever someone needs to buy a home from this area, they'll need to find a good home inspector that can figure out if there is a stream of water flowing underneath the basement or not. Another example is in San Antonio - due to the climate and the soil that the city has, foundation issues are common for a house. These two observations are something that a local person would know.
So my question to the group is: when purchasing a property in this city, is there something similar in Jacksonville, where they might be some type of issue that is common in jacksonville due to geography, soil, or the way that the city was designed.
