Post: Flipping advice needed - Having second thoughts (Jacksonville)

Hi Guys,
First off, very grateful to have a place to seek support when needed - Thanks
Have this property under contract, got it via the MLS with a buyer's agent, who pulled what seems to be good comps-
The property is very well maintained yet very dated -
Purchase: 65K
Workscope: 25K-30K
ARV: 130k-145K Range
Agent is confident that it will sell for 130K very easy, more leaning towards 140K,
Zillow Data are off and i could not see the Comps he sent over on zillow/recently sold - yet i did confirm it via the county tax website
I am planning to finance the whole project with my own Cash -
My impression of the area is that its a B Class neighborhood, there were several sales within this price range in the immediate area within the last months - Its growing but not whole blocks of the same price i am looking at - It sort of having an increase in investor interest as it seems,
Individual houses are buying bought/rehabbed and sold -
really hard what to say on that, for me at-least.
Question is -
Could anyone here assist me with confirming the data/ the area and provide his own analysis as to how that looks - Pretty new to this.
I trust the agent and data that he provided, but these seconds thoughts are disturbing -
4603 Morley Ln, Jacksonville 32210 - Cedar Hills.
Thanks

Hi Guys-
I am a non US Citizen, international investor with no working visa (Only tourist visa),
How can i obtain a real estate license without the required SSN?
I do not intend to work in the profession, instead using the benefits of it to support real estate investing -
My father has a SSN with E1 visa, however will not complete the course-
What are my options?
Has anyone heard / knows of how this can be done?
Thanks?
Post: Jacksonville Market - Opinion/Advice needed

Hi Guys,
I've been investigating specific areas in Jacksonville recently and would like to have some opinions from experienced investors in the area-
I am looking for Fix-flip / Rent when the numbers are right obviously,
What i did notice that many neighborhood in Jacksonville are filled with dense "pockets"that can drastically vary in "Quality" from block to block,
This obviously makes it easy to get it wrong for a non local,
I am looking into 33254, near by James Weldon school As a rental Market - some affordable houses there with a decent return - Would like to know if you could point out where should i focus on within this zipcode and your opinion on the area
Additionally, What is your opinion on Cedar Hills (32210) - Looking into rehab/flip in the area - The same question above applies -
I know that this may be a bit complicated to simply write through, but any efforts from your side will help
All the best,
Yonatan.

Hi Guys,
Which ways/methods do you suggest using to confirm that the details (income/expenses) that a potential seller presented on a specific deal,
example, seller reported that a potential house is never vacant year round - which in this case i guess i could use "Schedule E"(?) and confirm his statements of income from the specific property?
What is legitimate and is common to ask the seller to provide as part of the transaction regarding the above?
Thanks alot
