I started with an afternoon every other week, which was changed to an afternoon every week.So I put issues into 3 buckets: emergency (a pipe is leaking), within 24 hours (toilet running), and non-pressing (a door is not closing on its own), which is where most things landed and are handled that way.

Personally, as someone who lives near the Poconos, I would recommend the mountains of VA, NC, or TN.

I personally would go with cedar and have vertical posts spaced 5 inches apart.

@Mindy Jensen A little too personal to post publicly but if I can figure out how to PM you I would love to get others opinions. 

Make sure you dig into the podcasts, books, webinars, YouTube videos and finally a local meet-up to network in person locaclly. 

Your post is under the house-hacking section, do you plan to house-hack and live in this property that you purchase in Jacksonville.If you are planning to live here in Jacksonville, it is important to choose a good neighborhood that you would enjoy living in.I personally like the 5 points/riverside, San Marco and Southside/Baymeadows area.These areas have more resturants/activities than other parts of Jacksonville in my opinion.

I personally prefer to not be over leveraged but I have at least some type of leverage on every property.

Or should I also include my own personal labor into the rehab cost?

Interest on that mortgage was a personal itemized deduction on Schedule A. 

Now that’s not a teaching question, I can’t give it up, it already got saturate because things moved online, (sherif sales) Thankfully some are coming back in person.
