@Rick Doctor, I've been pressed to find a G.C in Jax that's responsive. Being a General Contractor myself you would think that it would be easy for me to interview and hire one there in Jax. But it actually turns out that most shy away from me because of they think I would be looking over their shoulder, any customer would or should, correct ? With the number of investors that flooded the area this year and the low number of qualified G.C's it has made it hard to hook someone for projects. I have been pulling my own permits and running the subs. If your property is in an LLC or other type of corporation then a G.C needs to pull permits. If the property is held under a individual then a permit can be pulled using Owner Builder rights. If you need further help P.M me, maybe we can get your project moving forward.

Great, I have a vacation home right across from the site and often wonder what was going on with the Building. This is great news along with the planning of 2 other high end builds planned for the area I think I will hold my place a few more years. I was thinking about selling. 

still available

@Jonathan B., I just left the Building Permitting Dept last Friday inquiring about the same thing. It seems that no LLC can pull a permit as owner builder. I challenged the decision all the way up to the Chief Building Officer, he enforced his counters personal decision. The way around this is to Quit Claim Deed the property back into your name, pull the permit then Quit Claim Deed. or get a G.C to pull permit.

@Javier Campanini , @Anthony Musacchio , @Trey Pryce , Welcome to BP. Read as much as you can about your type of investing. The more you read the more likely you will be able to weed out what stands true and whats theory.  Try to find your niche early, although your investing habits will change and mature, defining your market early on will help you understand the processes in your market of choice. I see most new investors get in the cycle of trying to educate themselves on all aspects of investing. This can be very time consuming and confusing. There are endless ways of investing in real estate and trying to make since of it all in the beginning will deter you from acting. Example: if you are a flipper that wants to buy with low money out of pocket, then you would need to study that system and the private lenders market. If you want to buy and hold, then study the turn key and the wholesalers market. With Jacksonville being one of the most productive real estate markets in the Nation right now, per Forbes Magazine, the area is being flooded with newcomers from out of state, anyone that's local or have firm boots on the ground will have an advantage to hook and acquire the deals. Stay true, believe in yourself and learn your market. Do not let anyone tell you that you can't do this, because you can. Good luck
