Hi Xavier! I’m an investor turned property manager. My company now manages 320+ doors in Jacksonville. I’d love the opportunity to chat and answer any questions. I’ll send you my info now :) 

@Matt Berklacy Hi Matt! You can refer to us. Thirdstone Properties. Our agent is @Michael Braddock and we happily offer referrals :)

@Steve Meyers I personally don’t invest in high crime areas but I manage in crime areas. Personally I have rentals in 32209 and 32208 but the better parts of those zips. We manage over 250 doors have clients that acquire in all areas so we manage all over :)

@Mack Tolbert Congratulations!!

@Rafael Basor Hi Rafael! Right now for 150k if you’re looking for something rent ready it’ll most likely be in a lower income area at this price point. Or if you’re looking for something that needs work then you can find a B area at this price point. I’m happy to chat this week and help if you need. We work with investors to assist them in acquiring rentals here and manage them as well. We manage over 250 doors at the moment :) Happy investing!

@Griffin Goudreau Hi Griffin. I can help you either with anything you need. Not sure if you’re looking for full services or you want to self manage but we do help with tenant placement for those that choose to self manage as well. Happy to chat this week if you’re free :) We manage over 250 doors in Jacksonville and place about 15 new tenants every month.

@Cassandra Alessio My experience as a property manager is that typically condos have less maintenance expenses. The condos I manage are super easy. Tenants pay on time and little to no maintenance issues. The main thing to consider are the HOA fees. When our clients look for investment properties that fall into an HOA we just make sure the HOA fees are low enough where they can still cash flow. A lot of investors stay away from condos but seeing the low maintenance costs as a PM I think it's definitely worth considering. Happy investing!

@Dessiree Jimenez Hi fellow Miamian! Happy to help if you need. We started off investing from out of state too. Left miami in 2014 for NYC, then invested from there in Jacksonville. Moved here in 2020 to start our brokerage and now focus on helping investors acquire in Jax and manage too. We manage over 250 doors. Send me a PM if you want to chat and I’m happy to help with anything you need :) We do manage a lot in the area you’re looking for as well, which many PM’s don’t do. Happy investing!

@Nadir M. Unfortunately it’s a learning lesson and you’ll never make this mistake again. Never let a tenant move in by paying online. Most processors take 1-3 business days to pull funds out of an account so you won’t know for a while if they had the money to begin with. Always ask for security deposit and a full month’s rent in a cashier check or money order. No exceptions! We made plenty of mistakes when we were first learning and self managing but we have learned many hard lessons. Professionally managing is much different. When I started self managing I thought paying a property manager was a waste of money but after all I’ve seen professionally managing the last few years, a property manager is 100% worth the money.

Depending on your state and laws, if she doesn’t come up with the cashiers check in the next 24 hours I’d post a notice and be super firm with eviction proceedings. Giving any flexibility here will just be a waste of time and money. Hire a lawyer for the eviction. The slightest mistake doing it yourself could cost you to lose and it isn’t worth it in my opinion.

Best of luck!!!

@Robert Fiorenzi Hi Robert! 77 doors is impressive. I see your friend might have gotten you hooked again :) Would love to connect. We started as out of state investors and moved to Jax in 2020. We own 12 doors personally and manage 240+ as well as help our clients find deals :) We have an office in Riverside on Park St. You’re free to stop in any time if you’re local. Happy investing!!
