I suppose something more turn-key could be a good option, but haven't come across many viable options there yet.Anyways, we still have a lot more to learn and still need to familiarize ourselves with the area/market, but just wanted to pop in to say hi! 

Happy to help you with either option, send me a DM.

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.

LLCs tend to be beneficial for financing options if using hard money as it can be required depending on the program.

By doing this we qualified for a larger mortgage because we could use the rent from the other tenant to qualify and there are better lending programs when it’s “owner occupied”.  

However, given that many sellers have locked in ultra-low mortgage rates from 2020–2021, the existing home supply remains constrained, which will continue to support home prices in certain areas.For investors, rental properties remain a strong option in an inflationary environment.

•If there’s high competition (many active rentals in the area), you won’t be able to price at the top of the market since tenants will have plenty of options.3.

Today I had a heater issue and snow company that was late handling commercial before residential so we ended up clearing it.Open to each option.

My vote is option one.  

If you’re still looking for insights or financing options to scale your investments in Jacksonville, I’d be happy to help.
