Welcome, Ingrid!

There are so many variables but it can be broken down into 4 categories to evaluate pros and cons of each metro:

Population growth

Jobs growth

Affordability 

Yield

I actually put all of these factors into a monthly report that compares over 100 metros in the US! It's the same info our firm uses to determine where we buy and its helped us strategically acquire over 50m of single family homes.

If you like to get the info, let me know. Completely free!

Cheers!

Hi @Carlin A Guarneri

Overall, Jacksonville has solid fundamentals. Comparing against all metros over 500k+ (112 total):

9th in population growth since 2012

12th in job growth since 2017

14th in affordability in the last 12 months

66th in rental yield

Sounds great, Dan. Shoot me your email! 

Hi Amanda, totally get why you'd want to explore other options. Regardless, I do recommend a property manager (one that takes pride in their work and is responsive).

That being said, I put together a monthly metro rankings report that you can use to evaluate markets near and far. It covers population growth, job growth, affordability, and yield. All key factors in market identification

It is developed monthly and provides a summary of the population growth (via census), job growth (via BLS), affordability is a review of the local median income to mortgage payment ratio (includes local property taxes and insurance), and yield (local median rent compared to local home prices as well as includes property taxes and insurance).

It's a summary for each metro! Very simply and easy to read, but has crucial indicators that everyone should know about their markets

Hi Mark, I put together a monthly metro rankings report (100+ markets) based on population, jobs, affordability, and yield. Its completely free. Happy to send the link!
