For investors in Jacksonville, how saturated is the JAX rental market?

I have (4) MD properties and have been monitoring JAX and surrounding areas for a few years for investment properties first with a longer term goal as a retirement destination.  At a glance, there seems to be a large amount of unoccupied rentals on the market.  One data point is the relationship of Open Rentals vs. Population by a few Zips compared to my MD Zips.  Is JAX too saturated?

Hi Craig,

I wouldn’t say it’s saturated. It depends on the area you invest in. I get several calls inquiring about rental properties however the criteria for some of those ppl to qualify holds them back. In addition, those ppl don’t qualify to purchase a home at the time.
