@Christopher Anello, I'm not too far from you in Jacksonville.

I live in Jacksonville as well.

My partner and I are planning a day trip down to Jacksonville in the next few weeks.

I've been considering leaving tech for some time now, and am looking at what cities and locations in other parts of the country might be good opportunities for investing.So far I've been researching properties in Jacksonville FL (due to some familiarity/having family in the area), and other affordable, growing cities.Glad to be here!

We're just starting the adventure in the real estate investment game and are preparing to close on our first property in Jacksonville, NC.

As far as markets look for multi industrial areas like Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Clearwater, Daytona Beach. 

I prefer single family homes and I am considering 3 areas, Tampa, Jacksonville or Tallahassee.

If you are looking to acquire properties in Florida, I am located in Jacksonville which is a great market, the area is not as expensive as other cities, but we do have a huge military presence so the area may be an ideal place to invest in.

Hello my name is DeeDee and I live in Jacksonville Florida.

Not saying don't invest there, but if you're ready to drop $400k on a down payment, you would be wise to check out other markets where you can get a (significantly) better return.If you want to stay in Florida, some cities to consider would be Jacksonville, areas around Orlando or Port St Lucie, just to scratch the surface.Outside Florida, the possibilities are endless. $2m goes a LOT farther in Birmingham, Nashville, Indianapolis or Dayton.If you want to stay in South Florida, there are deals out there.
