I have experience handling contractors, some mobile homes and a bit of experience DIYing repairs.I'm interested in long distance real estate investing, house hacking, small multifamily locally in Norcal and possibly note investing.I'm a Fuel Hauling Truck driver who works on average 60 hours per week and commutes 12 hours per week.

I've been creating list and for the most part they've been averaging around .18 cents per name.

Look at the average rents for the area.

I've been habitually absorbing information on real estate investing for almost a year now; I listen to Bigger Pockets, Active Duty Passive Income, Rod Khleif, audiobooks, and have read several books to gain some insight on how to make deals work.After extensive research into population growth, unemployment rates, median home prices, crime rates, property and income taxes, average insurance rates, vacancy rates, and average rental income, I have narrowed down my search to the Jacksonville, FL area where I will seek out my first multi-family deal in 2020.I'm excited to join these forums and become more active, there's always so much to learn from this great network of people.

Currently, the rent is right around average for the area.
