New to Jacksonville Market

[Ben Lawless]

Hello!

I've been working to get into the rental market in Jacksonville Florida with the eventual purchase of duplex and I have a few questions below that I think the BP community might be able to help out with.

1.) Who are your preferred property management specialists? I'll be investing from out of state for the foreseeable future and need a good team to help with management

2.) Who is your preferred investment property lender? This is my first time going through the loan process and I'd like to work with a group who is familiar with investment properties

3.) Where are your no-go areas for investing in Jacksonville? I've been to Jacksonville a fair amount and understand there are some rougher areas, are these worth investing in or should I steer clear? I'll be out of state so perpetual headaches are something I'd like to avoid.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this post, feel free to respond with any other wisdom you may have about the Jacksonville market.
