absolutely loving the new design!  Keep up the amazing work @Joshua Dorkin !!!

if the plan is wholesaling, why not start in Virginia where you already know he area. When you move here to Jacksonville, start wholesaling here as well. Work both markets!

may be a good idea to tell us your asking price. No one can tell if it is a great deal or not if they don't know what you want for it.

@Kyle Sullivan welcome to BiggerPockets and to Jacksonville! Let me know if I can help you at all!

@Eddie T. I wasn't planning on making Titusville my target market. I live in Jacksonville, FL so I figured that would've my target. My plan as of right now only involves the purchase of this one house. If it performs well, I may be open to more in the area.

@Sharad M. The house appears to be in great condition, so I am willing to pay closer to the market value. I would prefer to be below $50k. This being the first home that I would be putting an offer on, I am unsure just how lowball an offer I can make. If they are asking $73,000, how low should I be willing to start out at before they just toss me aside?

Thanks for your feedback!

This is a 3/2 in Titusville, Florida. It is actually my childhood home, though I am trying to not let that make me do something stupid. I still want the numbers to work.

Asking price: $72,900

I comp it at $50-55k (though just a quick comp, still new at that)

Going to offer $50k but willing to go up to $60k.

Market rent would be $850-900 a month (as verified by my realtor)

Can't figure how to put the property report on here from an iPad, so I just took screenshots of it.

Am I missing anything else? Thanks for your time!

I just saw a commercial in which Bob Villa (whom I haven't trusted since childhood...) talks about this new grass that is low maintenance. Anyone use it yet? Is it all it is cracked up to be or is it a sham?

@Josh Randall that is great news! Do your parents use a property manager or do they do it themselves?

It has been 15 years since I have been down there really, so I was unaware of the condition of the area. I didn't know the Miracle City Mall shut down. Thank you for the info!

I have met your husband once before and I agree with @Jack Bobeck , your husband rocks! Hope to see you at the next meet up! Welcome to BP!

That is great news about the new jobs! But a bummer about the ghost town part. Was hoping for a good reason to visit my old stomping grounds... Haha
