About this home
Jacksonville
INVESTOR ALERT! SPRINGFIELD COURT Brick 2/1 FIXER. PROPERTY APPEARS TO CURRENTLY BE ZONED CCG-2, ACCORDING TO PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE. With a strong rental market in the area, this one may offer long term WEALTH BUILDING as part of a rental portfolio, or could be a great opportunity for a BUY FIX SELL project for a seasoned rehabber/investor. Previously used as an AUTO REPAIR SHOP, it will be the Buyer's responsibility to independently verify current zoning and usage possibilities with the municipality. Septic Tank reportedly replaced in 2019, and HVAC in 2017, but Buyer must verify independently. The 2 carports/structures on the right side, and in front of, the permanent building do not convey. All contents shall be removed from the premises/property prior to closing. Corporate Seller is looking for CASH or Hard Money as property is being sold AS-IS with SELLER TO MAKE NO REPAIRS.

Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
This bill runs well above the county-average estimate — usually the sign of a CDD or special assessment on this home. We confirm the exact line (and whether a bond was ever prepaid) before you offer.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 3,601 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll (2026), NEFMLS.
