JWB does the work for you.

Invest in Jacksonville, Invest in your future
In other states, you can earn positive cash flow as a real estate investor, but you won’t maximize your return on investment because they lack the recipe for success.
That’s what makes JWB and Jacksonville different. Jacksonville, Florida is home to the perfect combination of low how prices, high rental rates and high property appreciation. That’s why investing here is so appealing.
24% more appreciation in Jacksonville since 1982
Population growth is an indicator of rent price and home price appreciation in the long-run. According to recently released U.S. Census Reports , in 2018, Jacksonville’s metro population grew 2 percent over the previous year, which made it the 6th fastest growing large metro (at least 1 million residents) in the country. During this same time, the U.S. population growth rate was 1 percent. Adding nearly 30,700 people, Jacksonville welcomed approximately 84 new residents per day from 2017 to 2018, which ranked #1 in the state of Florida.
This type of robust population growth in Jacksonville has been happening for decades. As a result, Jacksonville’s home prices have appreciated 24% more on average than other comparable cash flow markets since 1982 (Dallas, Kansas City, Memphis, Birmingham and Cleveland.)

About Our Residents
Commitment to integrity, the community, and to you.
Here at JWB, we know that our residents are real people, not just a
bill to be collected. Our residents stay with us because we make the rental experience enjoyable—we give them a place to feel comfortable; we give them a house to make a home. When our residents are happy, our investors make money. That’s why we focus on satisfied residents, and long-term leases. Currently, we serve over 3,500 residents. We rent over 800 homes annually on 2 or 3 year leases to our resident community. 70% of all our leases get renewed annually, and the best part is our average resident will actually stay at the property for 49 months- that’s over 4 years! Our team does a phenomenal job because happy residents means happy investors, which makes us happy. But don’t just take our word for it, see what they have to say for yourself.

Jacksonville is a burgeoning city. We’ve had colossal population growth in the last few years due to an influx in jobs, amazing weather, low cost of living and overall quality of life, but there’s still so much more growth to be had, specifically, in our downtown. Downtown Jacksonville is the geographic center of the region. The vision for the city is to make it the center for arts, history, business and innovation. In order to achieve this, we need to get Jacksonville to a population of 10,000 people. Currently we sit at just above 5,000 residents , but the city is growing quickly. There are $1 billion in active projects under construction at the moment, and three times that in project proposals. “That increased focus is paying off with exponential growth and better return on investment…The more successful our Downtown is, the more competitive we are as a city, the more talent and jobs we recruit, the more our city thrives, and our tax base grows to fund even more improvements all our residents deserve” (Jake Gordon, Downtown Vision CEO).
