I moved to Jacksonville after graduating from a college in the northeast.
Leaving behind the cold and snow was a good decision.
I love the bright sunshine, blue skies and warm temperatures of northern Florida. Initially, I rented an apartment. I found a place in a large complex that included all sorts of amenities. I had access to a huge inground swimming pool, hot tub, pool table, ping pong table, tennis court, sun loungers, fitness center and barbecue grill. The appliances in the apartment were brand new and state-of-the-art. My countertops were granite, and I enjoyed the view from a private balcony. If anything went wrong, I called maintenance to fix it. Eventually, I decided it was time to invest in my own home. Although I was super excited to finally buy a house, I did not like being a homeowner. There was constant repairs, maintenance, work and expense. I had no luxuries and no free time. I couldn’t get out from under the responsibility of that house fast enough. Rather than deal with the hassle, fees and delays of listing via a real estate agent, I chose to contact a cash home buyer. This process eliminated the need to schedule an inspection or undergo an appraisal. I didn’t need to worry about curb appeal or fixing anything. I just submitted an online form to a local Jacksonville cash home buyer. I heard back within twenty-four hours. The offer represented fair market value. I accepted and moved out ten days later. The cash in my bank account allowed me to provide a security deposit and cover quite a few months rent on a new apartment.
