Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I am located in Jacksonville as well, love this city! Very inspiring story and I appreciate you showing other ways to earn money in Real Estate outside of acquiring assets.

I have a question: I am going to be partnering with a Property Management company to start managing properties here locally. Would you recommend that I get a realtor’s license to help facilitate the acquisition of properties for the business, for myself down the road, and for family/friends that may be interested?

Thank you for this post!

You can also look at the map feature on Craigslist.

Works fairly well, if there are similar properties for rent nearby.

Love it @Andrew Pokrzywinski! Out of the box thinking for sure. This helps a lot.

@Damaso Bautista & @Chris Davidson Thank you for your input!

Hello BP family! 

I linked up with a great realtor in my market (Jacksonville, FL) and waiting to pull the trigger on a multifamily property. 

With that said, is there anything that can truly be done to find an off-market deal (this market is HOT), or just sit and wait for my realtor to bring us a property.

I will be using an FHA loan, so I know that will add an element to finding a suitable deal.

Thanks for your time!

@Paul Welden, thank you for your response! It seems like I need to do some research on finding the right Realtor, Lender, and Contractor.

Would you recommend obtaining a Loan approval first, or finding a property to suit my needs and tailoring the loan around that?

Cheers!

@Elise Marquette, thank you for the response! 

My wife and I are currently renting but are looking for a Multifamily (Duplex, Tri, Quad) as a House Hack for our first home.

I am wondering if anyone has experience using a 203k loan and certified FHA contractors? We might utilize this loan as an option to finance.

I've heard to expect a lot of red tape and long time to close, but to me, the more work something is, the better the pay off. Wondering if my hunch is correct?
