.- Neighborhoods to Avoid: Are there any areas that I should steer clear of due to high crime rates, low property values, or other red flags?

The resort is beautiful and very fun for our family. 

Then get professional photos by a STR photographer that knows how to showcase the beauty of your property!

Any red flags to watch out for?

That at least gives a red flag to future landlords.

PE red stamps em and AHJ issues permits.

It’s a Class B maybe B- neighborhood right across the river from a Class C town attracting opportunists that steal if you leave something out or unlocked.The tenants has a few red flags and I’d like some input on them after listening to some rental books.

Areas I like that I would consider C+ to B which should give decent cash flow are Orange Park, South Westside area near 295, Murray Hill area, San Jose, eastern area of Mandarin, East Arlington (east of 295), various pockets of the southside around University Blvd, and some others I circled in the red areas.

I just listed my first flip project (which turned out beautifully).

If you went to the roulette table and they paid 3-1 for red vs black vs 2-1 then that would be awesome but if it paid 1.5-1 that would stink.
