Looking for connections in Jacksonville

[Amanda Moskowitz]

Hi There - I know I connected with a few folks, but looking to expand my network in Jacksonville as I look to invest.  Neighborhoods, strategies, etc.  

Looking for buy/hold properties (either SFH or duplex/triplex).

I was speaking to a business contact yesterday and he has about a dozen homes in the Jacksonville market.  His approach was to purchase in lower income homes with average rent of $1000 with most paid off.  Thoughts around that approach in the Jacksonville Market?

Anyways looking to build a solid network of folks in the area.

Thanks!

You are likely looking at a home in the 32254, 32208, 32206 or 32209 zip codes if you are talking about lower income homes. 

You can definitely make it work there. You likely have to find a good property management company and contractor to make it work. There are a lot of professionals who will not work in those areas because they are deemed rougher.

Best of luck to investing in Jacksonville.
