@Chris Carson Thanks Chris. My wife lived in Jacksonville a while back but I'm sure it's changed. I don't know much about the city really other than it's supposedly growing and real estate is still relatively cheap. Do you have any suggestions what I should check out on line to learn more about Jax? Any help would be great!

@Matt K. Thanks Matt! Hope you're staying cool...It's been frickin' hot on your side of the tunnels.

@Ingrid J. Hi Ingrid. Yes I'm looking for buy and hold that has cash flow and if I get appreciation above inflation that'd be nice too. My wife lived in Jacksonville for 6 or 7 years but that was a decade ago and I'm sure things have changed. We will definitely drive the neighborhoods and get to know the city before we do anything but I'm hoping to narrow down the search somewhat before we get out there. so how'd you choose Jacksonville to move to?

Hello BP community! I and my wife will be moving to Jacksonville Florida from the San Francisco bay area. I'm lucky enough that the sale of our home here will give me options to invest if real estate (SFR or MFR) in Florida. Now the issue is that we won't be moving for another 12-18 months. So is it still too soon to start asking questions about Jacksonville or learning about which areas might be a good spot to start looking for potential investments? If it is too soon when do you think would be the best time? 3 months? 6 months? And if it's not too early any suggestions for Jacksonville specific communities would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve only been on the site for a few weeks but I’ve already learned a ton and look forward to learning more and meeting potential new friends.

Thanks for any help and insight

I'm 12 to 18 months away from listing my house in SF bay area and recently ran across a start up company named Faira. They are a type of "do it yourself" home selling sight but with the resources of an agent. They are currently in WA and now San Francisco. I'm wondering if anyone has used them and if so what was your experience.

Thank you,

Jason
