New Investors moving to Jacksonville, FL

[Howard Johnston]

Good Morning fellow BP'ers!

We are Howard and Heather Johnston and are new to the REI world. We discovered BP about 6 months ago and have listened to every podcast, many twice, watched webinars, followed threads, bought some great books and are also PRO members.

We are moving to Jacksonville, FL and our goal is to purchase our first fix and flip within a year. We are waiting for our house to sell and when that does we will have about $100k to begin investing. In that time we will be networking like crazy, building our team and getting to know our areas to farm. So far, we are thinking of concentrating on Mandarin, Julington Creek, Beauclerc and San Marco areas. Would love to eventually flip near and in the beaches area as well.

The advice and knowledge that is shared on the forums are something we really appreciate and hope we will be able to contribute to ourselves as we gain knowledge and experience on this amazing journey. One thing we learned early on from BP and from our own experience as that success isn't only achieved through hard work and determination but also through giving.

Currently, we run a family owned remodeling company, concentrating on anything cosmetic and custom. The range of our work goes from flooring installation, cabinet installation, custom woodwork, trim, painting and more. Until we start flipping houses, we will need to continue this and hope we can even work with fellow investors in Jacksonville that are having troubles with contractors. Also, we know what it is like to get in a jam, so if you are an investor in JAX then please contact me and we will do what we can to help.

Please feel free to learn more about us at our website which there should be a link to below.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to getting to know the BP community and hopefully many BP'ers personally in JAX!

Best regards,

Howard

Howard Johnston Welcome to Jax!!! I agree this place is full of opportunity. I myself plan on flipping so I think we should defiantly link up, I know we can be of help to each other. I've been here for about 7 years and have a lot of knowledge on Jax and surrounding cities. You've mentioned some great locations to start but I know some others you may be interested in also. I currently have a transportation business and I drove garbage trucks for years so I've seen just about all of Jax. PM me and let's figure a time and day we can talk some more.
