It's in a very desirable location where demand is very high right now. 

Find one of those in a desirable elementary district and you’ll be ok (but also face competition in the bids).  

A desire and ability to share their knowledge4.

We suggested the tenant look in the market place and find a place that fit their desired rent. 

Areas with lower sales volume and inventory are often highly desirable but provide few potential opportunities for flips and have a ton of competition.

It’s also great to identify desirable locations within the resorts - homes with private views or near the clubhouse.

The upside for Jacksonville is there with home affordability making it a desirable place for residents to relocate to.

I know that I am lowering the demographic I am reaching If I build bigger and if I wasn't using hard money I could afford to wait for the variances needed to build them smaller and still have the "coveted" garage parking that is so desired in the city , thats been my biggest crux/condundrum and the only reason I am moving forward is that my plan is only 10feet wider than all the other homes in area and houses this big have been selling.  

Example, a few buys I am doing now with clients are for Pyramiding equity, into faster appreciating markets with low supply to demand ratio, specific $ point for the SFH's and were deploying into townhomes BECAUSE we are targeting divorcing persons for tenants from the surrounding SFH neighborhoods who have 1-3 kids and a desire to remain in school district during divorce completion to allow for next home purchase.

I also make sure I make my desire to buy properties known to those working in the city offices, utility companies, code enforcement officers, police officers, and others who are in positions to hear about potential properties.
