Getting started in Jacksonville, Fl

[Brandon Ellis]

Hello! I am new on BiggerPockets and I am looking to connect with people currently in the Jacksonville Fl market. I am currently living in New Mexico as a Deputy Sheriff. I plan on moving to Jacksonville with my family in May of this year. I don’t plan on working law enforcement in Florida, but would like to start flipping houses and start purchasing rental properties. I would like to find an investor friendly real estate agent, and get started from there. Any information or advice about the market in the Jacksonville area will be really helpful.

The areas classified as B seem to be clustered around the st. johns river south of the urban core.
