The challenge you face investing out of state is really MAXIMIZING your yield, while investing in nonvolatile assets that are less likely to have severely diminished value and performance, all while investing in an asset with adequate rental demand.I can't speak to all of the markets you've mentioned, but have dug deep into several and can tell you tenured property management companies in some of the areas advised me to stay away from multifamily in working class neighborhoods completely bc there aren't enough tenants to even fill the single family supply nearby.

I know you have multi family near by but your house still may not be able to be converted.

It is a hard stop corner for an interstate exchange in one of the higher end markets that is nearby and there are some potential major players that would come in and pay cash for a deal like this.

So they decided to abandon the serfdom farm concept & stuck me with more eggs & fertilizer than I could handle.We had a well that pumped great water for them & then our "Italian" tenant rototilled & planted a huge vegetable garden nearby.

Will make sure to look in the Jax area and also other nearby areas like Orlando, Tampa, and probably even Georgia.

My initial thought though is if the condo has only appreciated $26k in 9 years, I would want to know what have homes nearby appreciated for.

Do you live nearby? 

Neighborhood sells fast due to the nearby school.House has lots of curb appeal.Other Amenities: Washer & Dryer (in basement).

That will be an okay strategy if the park is nearby and you can oversee it.
