I currently own one property in Jacksonville. It provides great returns. Right now im closing on a duplex in SW Florida, Charlotte County. As a newbie (like me), I would recommend staying away from the larger markets. I live in Palm Beach County, but I would never dream of investing here. Anything I can afford, is a WAR ZONE.

Some areas I would check out are Jacksonville (specifically North Jax) and the west coast of Florida (Tampa, Port Charlotte, Fort Meyers etc.) Heres a few data points I like to research before selecting an area to invest in.

  • Less than 15% poverty

  • Higher than national average population growth

  • Low crime area

  • Not in a flood zone

Best of Luck! Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

Jason, how is your REI doing? My wife and I are looking to get our first investment property in the near future in Jax or Tampa. We're thinking multifamily with a strategy of 3-5 year rental terms.

 My investing is going well. I have a single family in Jax and a duplex in Punta gorda. I got great tenants in them and haven’t had any issues. I’m working on saving up capital to purchase a second duplex in Punta gorda 👍🏻

It turned out pretty good. I purchased a double wide lot and split it with the city. So I built the duplex on one half of the lot. All in I ended up paying just a little under retail value/appraisal value. Around $300k. Each side rents for 1500$ so I’m at my 1% rule I like to meet. And it’s new construction so everything is brand new, and easy to rent out because people want to live in a new home. The deal will get sweeter because I still have the additional lot which I can build a second duplex on, or sell for around $30k. To build the second duplex should cost me all in around 275k. And should appraise for 310k 👍🏻

Your not making a bunch of wealth through forced appreciation and equity like you can on a brrrr deal, but this is simple, easy, and turn key basically. I love new construction for rentals. It does require some more capital up front for down payments.

@Clayton Smith

I was able to find a local bank that did an 80% LTV REFI on a 5 year year ARM amortized over 30 years at 5.25% So I will just have to refi again in a few year which I can do with the same bank or go to a conventional Fannie Mae long term loan

Working with the local bank was a breeze compared to conventional lender. Easy communication and quick closing. I’m not sure if they lend in Alabama but I can gove you his contact info.

Is it possible to still get a discounted ticket?

Hey guys. I own a lot zoned for multi-family and I am looking to build a duplex on it. Its cleared and ready to go. The last builder we used raised there prices significantly. Any referrals would be great! West coast Punta Gorda Area
