Sometimes it's not even zip code level...it's block by block! 

Hey y'all, Is there a hot pocket/zip code where you are picking up your investment properties? 

Which zip codes I should be looking which communities I should be looking around.

You can fill out a FOIA request from the city regarding all code violations.

Quote from @Kenya Furaha: Hi everyone,I’m planning to purchase a duplex in the 44109 zip code (Old Brooklyn area) and wanted to get investor perspective before moving forward.Here are the deal basics:Purchase price: ~$180KCash to close: ~$45KProperty type: DuplexYear built: ~130+ years oldCondition: Previously renovated, minimal visible work needed foundation etc. 

There’s also the risk of a nosy neighbor noticing your contractors, trucks, or frequent activity and calling code enforcement.

Any zoning or code issues I should watch out for?

@Omar DolmusThis is going to come down to the code officials strict application of the code.

At this stage, I’m working on defining the right strategy and would really appreciate insights from those with experience: What type of properties are best to start with for a first flipWhich areas or ZIP codes in Jacksonville and surrounding areas are most suitable for beginnersWhat a realistic purchase price ceiling would be to avoid losses on a first dealFrom a financial standpoint, whether it’s better to use hard money financing or partner with an investor and split profits in order to gain experience and build a track record  I’d love to hear any advice, ideas, or lessons learned from your own experience.Of course, if anyone here is interested in partnering as a capital investor, or has potential opportunities, I’d be happy to connect privately. 

It was $99.95, but I had a 99.95% off promo code.
