That is one of the main reasons I have mostly transitioned heavily to the Midwest ( Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Jacksonville MS etc...).

Hi there, I heard from a friend this was a great real estate investing website to join , so I'm signing on from Middleburg, FL, which is located in the SW part of the metro  Jacksonville area.  

looking for someone to walk me through my first deal. in Jacksonville Fl

:wink: House is in North Florida Jacksonville suburbs.

Thanks to BP I was able to make my first investment last year - a SFR in Jacksonville, Florida.I'm from So Cal originally.

Most were rather mild; however, weak demand resulted in more sizable vacancy gains (up to 1.5 percentage points) in a handful of markets led by the Desert region (Phoenix, Las Vegas) and Florida (Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach).The one notable exception was Nashville with 1,473 units absorbed – more than double the second-best market (Charleston at 656 units).

Make your offer a good percentage below the last listed price.I use a lead generating program in Maryland, Jacksonville Florida and Dallas Texas - my partners (friends from Bigger Pockets) run the leads that I receive from the radio or TV advertising - using my branded commercials (all leads come to my 800 number, I qualify the lead and call my partner to help get comps, look at the property and delivery the contract of sale that I forward to him or her).

From my research I have Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Dallas and Jacksonville as potential market candidate where I can get good ROI.Plan is to buy SFH or small MFH properties in C+ or better neighborhood that need minor work or are owned by motivated sellers that I can purchase for below market value with conventional financing, repair them to be rent ready, and hire a property manager to rent them out.At this moment I'm looking for right members to build the solid TEAM and achieve my goal.

Paul, San Antonio, and Jacksonville/Central Florida Coast.

I own properties in Jacksonville, but live in Oregon.
