Jacksonville Section 8 B & C Neighborhoods

Daniel Sam
Posted

Hi all,

I am looking to invest in Jacksonville, FL while living in Boca Raton, FL. Looking to purchase in the 32208, 32209, 32206, or 32254 area, just wanted to ask for those who are familiar with that area or perhaps work in those zip codes. My buybox is <150k, as turnkey as possible, 3 bed, prefer 2 bath but will do 1 bath for the right deal, neighborhoods with lower crimes than the nearby areas, rent at <1.5k. Also, any tips y'all would give to people who are just starting out, also I am open to other nearby areas where barrier to entry is still relatively low. Thank you in advance, all advice is welcome!

     @Daniel Sam just did a quick search on Zillow in those areas roughly (just put the map over those general zip codes) and there are about 152 homes currently listed for sale that are 3+ bedrooms, less than $150k, and single-family houses. A couple of them look renovated or in decent shape from photos. 

    However, I will warn you that these zip codes are not B & C areas, I have been investing in Jax since 2017 and lived there 2020-2023, and these are C and mainly D areas. I would not buy in these areas and I would not manage for other owners in these areas. I would check crimemapping.com because I would not consider any of these zip codes as low crime.
