Researching my Local Market
I moved to Jacksonville NC when I was a teenager and stayed until I graduated college at 21. I didn’t drive around much but when I did downtown area always looked a bit abandoned, nothing there but the courthouse, lawyers, and bail bondsmen.
At least that’s what I thought...I decided to go Driving for Dollars downtown. There’s a Bay close by so much to my surprise I saw a lot of properties that looked liked it belonged on the beach and much more looked newly renovated. I saw new businesses a coffee & pastry cafe, a bridal bar, and a Environmental Learning Center. It looks like the area is up-and-coming. Saw quite few potential properties that could be renovated. To find out more about the area I went on the city website. To find the plans for the city. Ended up finding archive videos of past town hall meetings and the schedule for future meetings. I hope those help me out. Any suggestions to help me find out more about the area I just looked at or other resources I can use to help analyze my market?
Thanks a lot and I’ll appreciate any feed back!
