@Ryan Russell I can recommend you to a great realtor that’s investor friendly and also a PM in Jax. Send me your email and phone # via message and I’ll have him call you. As for wholesalers there are a ton. I googled Jacksonville wholesalers and just added myself to all the lists I could find.

@Maja D. Yes, send me a PM I can share his info. His name is Mike. He's a great home inspector in the are!

Hi Clayton. Right now sellers are over pricing their properties so it takes a bit of digging to find properties above 1%, but they are out there. We like to have a little more than 1%. A lot of times we have to put lower offers but we will never over pay for a property. PM me and I'd be happy to chat more about Jax!

Hi Erez. My husband and I have been investing in Jacksonville, Florida for several years now. I am a licensed realtor and help other investors (out of state and out of the country) to find rental properties that meet their investing goals. I would be happy to help you as well. We also do a lot of research and market updates on Jacksonville that I can share with you. I'll send you a message now with details.

Hi Sean. I highly recommend Gary Siver. Send me a PM and I'll share his contact details as BP doesn't let me do it here.

@Brandi Graham I think that’s absolutely insane to charge that much. You’re better off learning more on BP and using that money to invest in a deal. The BP community is extremely supportive and you’ll get a lot of free advice on here. Even meeting some people in person that you hit it off with will go a long ways. But please don’t pay them that much for mentorship!!

@Dimitri Paspalaris I have read about doing both strategies. On one hand if you work directly with the listing agent, you could entice that agent to convince the seller more to take your offer since they will be earning double commission. On the other hand there are so many agents who are hard to get a hold of or just never reply. It's very odd but that's how it is. If it's your first investment maybe it's best to go with a buyer's agent. It does not cost you any money and your agent will be working solely for you, where the listing agent will be working for both and won't have loyalty to get you the best deal possible or to tell you when the property just isn't a good one or the area isn't good. When I first started my agent told me when a deal just was not good instead of letting me invest in something I'd regret later. I see you're from out of state so having someone you trust is key. I became licensed last month and would be happy to help if you decide to go that route. I wrote this article a few months ago and it was featured on BP, here is the link in case you're interested: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/11360/83794-how-we-purchased-our-first-3-rental-properties-out-of-state-in-1-year

@Anthony Lynch I currently invest in Jacksonville and have done rehabs. I've had great experiences with my contractor and handyman but I know others who have had trouble finding good help. There are plenty of properties that need rehabbing in Jax! As for areas, it depends how much you want to spend and how extensive of a rehab you want to do. Send me a message and we can chat further. Happy to help  :)

@Robin Varghese I live in Brooklyn so I understand where you're coming from. I invest in Florida where I'm originally from. I purchased 3 rentals in my first year all sight unseen with inherited tenants and manage them myself from here. I don't think there is such a thing as "too far" as long as you do your analysis and have your team in place to help you. Happy to chat further via message about managing from out of state and about investing in Florida!

@Gary Siver I just saw the pics on your profile. It looks AMAZING!!
