Hi Guys,I've been investigating specific areas in Jacksonville recently and would like to have some opinions from experienced investors in the area-I am looking  for Fix-flip / Rent when the numbers are right obviously,What i did notice that many neighborhood in Jacksonville are filled with dense "pockets"that can drastically vary in "Quality" from block to block,This obviously makes it easy to get it wrong for a non local,I am looking into 33254, near by James Weldon school As a rental Market - some affordable houses there with a decent return - Would like to know if you could point out where should i focus on within this zipcode and your opinion on the areaAdditionally, What is your opinion on Cedar Hills (32210) - Looking into rehab/flip in the area - The same question above applies -I know that this may be a bit complicated to simply write through, but any efforts from your side will helpAll the best,Yonatan.

I'm beginning early investigation of a potential 8-unit multifamily on Milwaukee's Southside and curious what people can tell me about prevailing/ average cap rates in the nearby area which I could use to set offer price. 

I'll keep on investigating. 

The due diligence period is the time you have to investigate the property to insure its physical, environmental, and title aspects are to the Buyers satisfaction.The lender will not do any work on your behalf.

With two tenants a 10% vacancy is very easy to achieve, so you need to investigate the leases.- Where is it?

Where notice of sale is not required it is on the owner to investigate the sale and request or demand amounts due.

Thanks for all of your thoughts.I will investigate further with HUD.

Already mentioned but worthy of repeating, are mortgage brokers that specialize in jumbo investments---jumbo buyers tend to investigate & explore lending options before entering the market/engaging the services of a realtor and this could prove to be a fruitful source of buyers.

I have done several home improvement projects on my own home including a complete 23 x 14 addition.I want to investigate other paths as well as you mentioned.Thanks again for this awesome forum!
