Forging a New Path in Jacksonville, FL

[Stephanie C.]

Hi all,

I am Jacksonville, FL native who (with the assistance of my husband) is looking to transition careers. I have previous experience in the marketing field, but most recently have been teaching various mathematics courses at a local high school. I have decided to leave my current job as a teacher to spend more time with my son and have more flexibility in my schedule. I have always been interested in real estate, but graduated college in the middle of the collapse of the housing market. Now seems like an opportune time for us, because I now have more time and more capital to focus on this endeavor.

My husband and I are most interested in purchasing single-family homes to flip, the idea of being a land lord at this point is a little daunting. This of course could change as I become more familiar with the industry. I have also been debating on whether or not to get my real estate license, I will probably at least take the real estate license course to become more familiar with the process in general.

I am so glad that I came upon this website, it is truly one of the best organized, most informative sites I have found. I look forward to gaining even more knowledge as I continue to peruse the forums, blogs, webinars and podcasts!
