Jacksonville's real estate market is characterized by a stable yet dynamic environment, a good number of reasonably priced home options, and a strong economy supported by notable job and population growth.First, as far as market characteristics go, Jacksonville offers a balanced market, meaning that neither sellers nor buyers have a clear edge.

I’m in the Syracuse NY and frequently work with investors looking for rental properties.

Marion County has similar characteristics to Polk but is slightly farther away.

With different rental approaches such as Mid-term (or month to month), we also frequently adjust and re-evaluate pricing in the off-season or winter months as needed in order to get a unit filled and avoid long-standing vacancies.Depending on your focused market, I can recommend a solid investor-focused lender that may be a good fit to strategize on how to get you into your next property. 

Hard money lender is typically higher interest for a shorter loan period, and are frequently used with fix and flips since it’s a quick project.

Of course, this is an excuse.We only lend to flippers, and only in southern California, so this is a particularly sensitive topic and something I think about frequently.

So, hard money would encompass most if not all of the following characteristics: not credit based, loan amount based on the value of the hard asset offered as collateral, high interest rate and high points, short term loan, relatively low LTV, low documentation requirements, non cash flowing properties still considered. 

Frequently this same property will show up on the next sale a couple months later only to be taken off again.  

If you find that you are buying and/or selling frequently you may find that it is useful to become licensed in order to access the MLS directly and to arrange viewings of properties more easily.

Cleared out, would these characteristics necessarily ward off potential renters?
