Long distance investing in Jacksonville, FL area
Hello everyone! My husband and I are just starting our real estate investment journey. We are currently considering starting in the Jacksonville, FL area since we live in Los Angeles, CA we would greatly appreciate any help pointing us in the right direction!
Mainly, we would like to know if this is a good starting location, but we would also like to connect with agents, wholesalers, sellers, contractors and anyone else that could help us make the jump into the market
We have elected to BRRRR with our own cash and are excited and eager to find a great team to create mutually beneficial partnerships 🙌🏻

The key to investing out of state will boil down to the team you have in place. As someone who invests out of state myself, having adequate systems in place in terms of team players and experience helped mitigate some of the risk. Maybe partnering with someone in Jacksonville initially might not be a bad idea. You want to find individuals who can become your long term team members. Bets of luck!
