if you mean how to pick land, my first land investment was in 1989. It just takes time learning what works. As far as that lot I let go back to auction. I have since learned the city planner was wrong and I didnt need a waiver after all. I will contact the new owner and let him know as the deed from 1977 has the easement. I have bought land locked parcels sold to neighbors also and made decent money. It's a research play you just really have to pay attention and dig all potentials.

Generally parts of 32206, 08, 09, 19 and 54 have larger inventories of cheaper properties but I do not recommend for out of area investors...local self managers are doing ok.Just my 2 cents. Unless you want to get in on the Opportunity Zone incentives.

Why are you picking those zip codes? 

@Jean Santiago

I have been in Jax area since 1975 and I have 29 years USPS and am also an investor. Feel free to reach out for my intel. My inbox would be empty if I didnt know Jacksonville Florida intel.

@Elioe Burgos Jr,

I didnt see this til now.

I MO there are always a ton of Tax deeds and foreclosures in Jacksonville due to the size of Jacksonville. It is huge, 30+ zip.codes. What other city has that many zipcodes?

@Mark Fries, I have that LA list narrowed down to 38 Viable houses still. But I usually do not buy houses as tax deeds. I buy land as tax deeds. I see the LA list fluctuates between 400 and over 700 properties big.

It is hard to answer without seeing. And you can play hit and miss with contractors. I would find one to oversee the whole thing  that is licensed. But get him from colleague references. @Mark Fries may have some references or suggestions. I mainly buy land from the post auction list. Other than that we buy bank owned or short sale primaries to live in rehab and later rent. 5x over now....with land and tax deed land mostly on the side as investments.

They are recorded as JUDGMENTS in Duval County Florida so you would be finding a ton of other stuff just searching Judgments. Maybe there is a way to further break the search down in Oncore public records. cant post the link or this thread will be deleted likely

@Robert Dobbs I have a history with land beyond the tax deed subject so I do know what to look for. I am in the largest County so there were over 700 otc deeds available. And that list remains. I have all the links down pat for important research in the County I work in which is likely easy to guess. Other than that we buy bank owned or short sale primary residences and we live in rehab them to later rent. The latest is a 5 acre farm. We may 121 tax free exchange this at the 2nd year mark for a better farm primary residence, we have not decided yet. 

Have you let any go back to Auction? I also buy mature 2 year certs and apply for tax deed and win on no bid sometimes or earn 18% I also attend live County Tax deed sales local to me and apply for tax deed sale as a cert holder there as well.

I cant believe you have a house called a modular. I have one that was considered a modular on 1.39 acres then Duval said they took away that category and are now calling money a MH there is nothing mobile about it
