Some owner's will waive the fee if the renter stays for a certain amount of days.  

I don't think Jefferson Park has a lot of demand for short-term stays.  

The listing price was 139.9k without any appliance, I got it for 137.9k with all appliances stay.

It is cities further in the south that are struggling to stay net positive. 

Mislabel one of the other parties emotions or desires “so it seems that you are really eager to leave your job” when you know they want to stay-this forces them to listen and tell you that’s not it, but this is.

For one the owner has to stay in the property for two years before selling or moving out.

If there are any local members I would love to talk and hopefully gain some knowledge.

Remember, as a real-estate investor, your job is to be connected and knowledgeable on how to put these deals together, how to find financing, how to run contractors, how to find tenants and how to manage the properties.

I reccomend any of the BP books for building basic knowledge base - they're all easy to follow and have actionable steps.

That could be a great way to find and stay engaged with local investors, realtors and opportunities. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsLooks like you've already made some connections with other BP members there in JAX...You can also search for other investors or brokers in your market and follow their journey on Bigger Pockets here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersBest of luck to you and look forward to following your success on BP!
