Remote Investing in Jacksonville

[Sean Slattery]

Hello everyone,

6 months after purchasing my first property in Jacksonville, I'm on the hunt for my second.  I used a national 'turnkey' management company for my first deal, and it was truly a great experience.  However, I do feel that using a national company may cause some opportunities to be overlooked simply because they are focusing on a broader market.  This is especially true in Jacksonville because of the geographic size of the city.  I believe that city-wide analysis can be inaccurate because the market is hyper-local.  I am wondering if anyone is aware of a local Jacksonville company that specializes in servicing remote investors.  I would also be interested in hearing any other strategies for investing remotely, outside of a 'turnkey' operation.  I'm currently focusing on Jacksonville, but I am also interested in Orlando and Tampa Bay Area. Thank You! -Sean

I am a native of Jacksonville and know the area very strongly.  I know 6 turnkey off market properties right now that might be a good fit depending on what area of town you are looking for.  5 of this 6 are in good locations and of those 5 three are in fantastic locations.  However, he will only sell them all as a package deal but all the tenants have been in there a while and are long term.  Having said that, if you need more input or want to speak directly, you can simply contact me directly concerning this matter.
