Jacksonville Fl STR info and help

[Doug Wade]

Hey all, I need some expertise on Jacksonville. I have a contact who self manages his own property and claims to be doing great.

My question is Jacksonville a good place to str in Fl? What areas of town and nearby surrounding area to look at and avoid? Also anybody know of str property managers that’s not Evolve or any other national company?

Thanks!!!

Quote from @Brett Nissen:

If you are looking at Jacksonville Beach to STR, the bylaws do require a local person to be a 24 hour contract for the property. This makes self managing an issue. I live in Jax Beach, and also work with a lot of clients buying STR here (I am an agent). The property next to me actually is an Airbnb, and the owner is starting her own PM/consulting for ppl looking to STR in this market

 This isn't really an issue. Find a good cleaner, pay h/her well. More importantly, build a relationship. My cleaner even hunts for local furniture on FB marketplace when something breaks.
