I'm always ready to diversify myself by observing what's happening in other markets eg: Birmingham, Kansas City, and Jacksonville.

I am a new investor, looking to buy a single family or duplex in Jacksonville, FL.

Growing up in South Florida, WATER has always been the buzzword: Waterfront, water view, water access...Since the sale, I have been searching the landscape, focused exclusively on the Florida east coastline, from the FL Keys, to Fort Lauderdale, all the way up to Jacksonville Beach. 

HI @Alex Heifetz I'm in a very similar boat that you are in--in fact, I'm planning on visiting a couple of cities in mid-January (Memphis, Birmingham, and Jacksonville, at least for now) to look at turn-key properties.How about asking the turnkey company for contact info of investors who have bought with them, especially repeat customers?

I'm looking to meet like minded investors/wholesalers/agents in Orlando, Jacksonville, and Miami.

Hi @David Nichols and @Austin RatchfordI'm in Gainesville and invest here and am looking in Jacksonville and Ocala.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Jacksonville.

There are a lot of people from within driving distance - Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, etc - that will use the Disney pass and stay at a STR but they are often bargain hunters, which again are not really a good demographic if you've got a nice STR like me. 

If you're set on FL then perhaps Jacksonville would be an option with more opportunity.

To give an example, I have a portfolio properties with a turnkey company in Jacksonville, Fl and they require I hold a $400 reserve with them for my entire portfolio, no matter how small or large.
