Hello all,My name is Slavik and I'm a new out-of-state investor looking to invest in Jacksonville, FL.Currently focusing on single-family houses, without a specific strategy in mind.

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: Hey Bruce,I recommend working with an experienced DSCR Broker who knows the ins and outs of the industry to guide you in to the right product and pricing for you.

With your background in cyber security and experience in the stock market, you’re already bringing a strong foundation of analytical skills that will serve you well in this space.It sounds like you’ve done your research and are ready to take the next step—do you have a specific market or strategy in mind for your first real estate investment?

@Jennifer StammbergerWhat type of businesses do you want to cold call, and what is your angle specifically?

Additionally, I would like to attempt to do the process Owner/Builder with subcontracting work out as well as doing some of the work I'm comfortable with (I have some experience with bathroom & kitchen remodeling an am not new to the construction industry).

So basically wholesaling is really not the wave to go because it's nearly getting banned and there are ppl in the industry who try to **** you up because I have know clue what I'm doing?

Check AirDNA for demand, pricing, etc.The Dekalb Board of Commissioners has proposed regulations for short-term rentals. https://engagedekalb.dekalbcountyga.gov/airbnb-dekalb-countyShort term rentals require you or your property manager to be hands-on and come with more risk.

If anyone has specific information that would be helpfulThanks!

Any HML will want answers to those questions plus a rehab budget before getting you a term sheet for a fix n flip loan for this property.I close these types of loans all the time, if you have any specific questions about the process don't hesitate to reach out.
