Jacksonville is considered the most populous city in the state of Florida. Located in the northeastern part of the state and on the Atlantic coast, it provides numerous beaches. Twenty-two miles of white sand beaches adds up to more shoreline than any other city in the country. Atlantic and Neptune Beaches offer nightlife, shopping and some really amazing dining opportunities. Jacksonville Beach is known for its large dunes, beautiful boardwalk and stunning pier. There are also forty miles of Intracoastal Waterway and fifty public boat ramps. Jacksonville is home to the longest stretch of the St. Johns River in Florida.

With hot and humid summers, mild and dry winters and less than a dozen nights below freezing, the weather cooperates with outdoor activities just about year round. It’s no surprise the city continues to draw in new residents. The area is expanding rapidly. From retail shops to chain restaurants, there are new businesses opening up on nearly every corner. With housing in high demand, the real estate market fluctuates greatly. Some homes sell for top dollar while others languish on the market for months.

It can be extremely difficult to unload a property with problems. An older roof, outdated electrical panel, pest infestation, risky HVAC system, concerns with the foundation and all sorts of issues can undermine sale potential. A failed inspection or lower than expected appraisal makes a bank mortgage nearly impossible. The alternative is a cash home buyer such as Obi Buys. With no need to qualify for bank lending, a cash buyer is able to make an offer on properties in any condition.
