Buy Your Home, Build Your Wealth

I began my passion with real estate when I bought my first home and made $100k profit in just one year (and this was not during the boom but was building up to it)

That home was in Washington DC area but I took that $100k, moved to Jacksonville FL and bought 7 homes. I turned $100k into $600k in a matter of 6 months (this was during the boom).

Why Northeast Florida

I moved to Jacksonville Florida, from the Washington DC area about 20 yrs ago. As soon as I arrived, I knew my city business skills would go farther meaning that I didn’t have to work as hard to get business here. I’m a Realtor and learned if you didn’t return a customer call within 5 minutes you lost the business. Here, at the time, it took agents 24 hours to return a call. Not all but most. I saw that my skills here could take me much farther without having to fight or claw my way to get 1 customer due to the # of Realtors there were up north. This was the peaceful lifestyle I was looking for as well as I could live near and/or at the beach. We have since grown in this 20 yrs and it has gotten a little competitive but not as bad as it ever was around Washington D.C.

Jacksonville is the largest city by land mass in the US and because the land mass is so large, the boundaries for other counties get intertwined. I live in St. Johns County and I still consider myself living in Jacksonville because I’m 10 minutes from the “borders”. I doubt I’ll ever leave!

Here are my 9 solid reasons to live in Jacksonville Florida and why I find it hard to leave:

1. Minutes to any Beach- Basically, anywhere you are in the city, you’re no more than an hour to various beaches and it’s fabulous to have that peace and serenity of the waves rolling in so close to you. Happiness is just a stone’s throw away!

2. Minutes from any River- Same holds true as above. There is a reason why we’re called “The River City”. Whether it’s a river, canal or intercoastal waterways, we have them all which makes boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, and other water activities so easy to access.

3. We have Award-Winning Hospitals and Healthcare here including the renowned Mayo Clinic.

4. Enjoy Food? We have a growing culinary community here with excellent cuisine of all backgrounds. We also have yearly competitions held here both for professional chefs and amateur cook-offs. We’re serious about our food here.

5. This area is super family oriented. There are a ton of churches and families both young and older attend. Most activities are for the kids but some adult activities happen as well. We have a bunch of parks, springs and picnic areas where you’ll always see families out active and enjoying the scenery.

6. Jacksonville is basically a flip-flop town. I’ve seen Realtors in Caribbean shirts and shorts with flip flops while showing million $ properties. It’s not my overly dressed up attitude but who I am to judge. The community as a whole has a very relaxed casual vibe.

7. Real Estate values have increased recently but you can still buy a home for less than $360,000 and live at the beach. Homes are still way better priced here than an hour outside of D.C.

8. We still have 4 seasons here- Our winter season is just much shorter starting in Late November early December, the nights may dip to 60 degrees Fahrenheit but the days still remain over 80. This is our fall. Our actual winter happened in early January to February. We don’t get snow but a coat is needed during the day with temperatures between 35 & 42. I enjoy most of my Christmases in a pool or at the beach when I’m in town.

9. Lastly, we don’t experience any traffic- the people that live here would disagree and of course we need to make an exception for a major car accident or road work but that can happen anywhere. In general after surviving 2 hour commutes to and from work that was only 20 minutes away, I have rarely ever sat in any stopped or slow moving traffic. It’s maybe been 3 times over the past 20 years. For the most part you can get from one side of the city to the other side in under 30 mins as a general rule and I’m a Realtor so I’m all over the place at all times.

These reasons have been what has brought me and kept me here. I refuse to leave! Thankfully, the cultural activities around town have gotten much better in the past 10-20 years such as the Van Gogh Exhibit that just opened in September. Not to mention there are great business opportunities for anyone thinking about investing in or around Jacksonville Florida whether it be nightlife, hospitality, food, etc.

My Wealth Building Story

I began my passion with real estate when I bought my first home and made $100k profit in just 1 year! I took that $100k, and moved from Washington DC to Jacksonville FL and bought 7 homes. I turned $100k into $600k in a matter of only 6 months!

Buying my home taught me the value of this investment. In addition to the profit/equity I made, there were other perks that put more money back in my pocket. Here are just a few:

When you own a home you can take more deductions with the IRS which translates into more of your paycheck in your pocket.
You also get to write off the interest from your monthly payment on your taxes. This is awesome because for the first 10 years most of your payment is interest. If your payment is $1000 for example, $999.98 is interest on your 1st payment. With your 2nd payment, it may be $999.97 that is interest and so forth. At the end of the year, you’re potentially writing off $12,000.00 on your taxes (using the $1000 mortgage example, more if it’s higher) if you’re at a 25% tax bracket, that’s $3000 in your pocket.
The rent you were paying is now going to buy down the payment, which means for the same money you live on every month, your money is now going to invest in your pocket.

In short, Buying A Home can change your life as it did mine. I became passionate about teaching others how to buy and sell homes and I had done it so many times back to back that I learned to find ways to save significant amounts of money. Saving my clients a ton of money by finding the best lenders, making sure there are no junk fees, getting you the lowest interest rate and the best price for your home in Northeast Florida. This is what sets us apart from our competition.
