Buy and hold in Jacksonville, Fl.

[DB Brooks]

Hey guys I'm looking to buy my first sfh.  I will live in it for a few years and turn it into a rental.  I have been looking in the San Jose, San Marco, South side area mostly but the market seems to be taking off.  My max that I will spend is around 200k (though 150k would be much nicer), but most rental comps don't seem to support spending this amount.  Do you have any recommendations or advice?  I'd like to buy in a decent/nice area as I will be living in it for some time.
