You may be able to find properties with the cash flow you are looking for in areas of San Bernardo or Riverside counties.

@Glen Erickson welcome to BP!

If you want to connect with other investors, there is a FREE landlording meeting this Thursday, May 26th, at Tommy's Pizza on Dublin-Granville (between Sawmill and Riverside) that features education (a Q&A session geared to newbies for general real estate investing and landlording as well as a featured speaker) and networking and has a good mix of newbies and experienced investors.

@Glen Gaidos

Ft Home for over $2 Million on the outskirts of SF in Glen Park.

@Dirk Watters you might want to try Riverside and San Bernardino counties if you have not already done so.

I don't know much about other parts of Jacksonville - besides that San Marco and Riverside are rapidly growing.

There are hot pockets here in NJ that I find when I'm research properties such as Montclair, South Orange,  Glen Ridge where retail, owner occupant, mortgage type buyer is Strong.  

For example, i used to own a bunch of doubles in the black rock/riverside area, I was purchasing them for 40 to 45k, renting the units for 500 to 650, so all and all i was making 500 to 700 profit every month on a double. 

We can be caught downtown enjoying a film put on by the Victoria Film Society, having dinner at one of the many restaurants in our increasingly vibrant downtown area, or at Riverside Park with the pups.
