Ask vs MAO in Jacksonville right now
Median ARV on this set is $193,553. List looks like a discount. For a 70% buyer it is not.
Call that about $46k. Milwaukee's hole is about $41k. Atlanta's is about $43k. Jacksonville is the fattest dollar gap of the three.
A 70% buyer cannot pay that list. Their number is $110,041. You are not $5,000 apart. If you spend the week driving Duval writing offers $30k under ask, this is why nobody calls back.
Run the MAO calculator before you write the offer. Same math as the MAO formula. The move is ask versus MAO, not a prettier ARV story.

Only 12% of this set sits under MAO
Among Jacksonville analyses that had both an asking price and an MAO, 56 came in under MAO. 408 were at or over.
Call that 12% of the dual-number set, 56 of 464. Milwaukee clears 18%. Atlanta 23%. Jacksonville is the thinnest hit rate of the three. The other 88% needs a price cut, a lighter rehab, or a pass. You do not fix a $46k hole with a better opener.
Hunt those 56. Then hunt anything sitting long enough for ask to move. The rest, walk away.
Cash flow after the buy
Median rent on this set was $1,466. Median cash flow $863 a month. Close to Milwaukee's $917 leftover. Atlanta is $498. Jacksonville looks like a hold market until you remember most of these listings will not let you buy them.
If your buyer is a landlord, lead with the $863. If they flip, lead with ARV and the $46k hole. Either way, the leftover only exists after you get the contract.
Jacksonville vs Milwaukee vs Atlanta
Jacksonville is Milwaukee-sized volume: 537 analyses versus Milwaukee's 581. Atlanta is the big board at 1,299.
The dollar hole is the fattest of the three. About $46k over MAO versus Milwaukee's $41k and Atlanta's $43k.
The hit rate is worse. 12% under MAO versus 18% in Milwaukee and 23% in Atlanta.
Cash flow sits in the middle. Atlanta $498. Jacksonville $863. Milwaukee $917. You cannot treat that leftover as a reason to work the whole board. Most files sit at or over MAO.
Work Jacksonville if you'll run ask versus MAO first and you can live with a thin under-MAO slice. Stay out if you need Milwaukee's 18% hit rate or Atlanta's bigger ARV board.

How to write the offer without chasing list
Seller sends a list. Do this before you reply.
Paste the address. Get ARV, ask, and MAO on one screen. Use the MAO calculator if you already have ARV and rehab.
Read ask versus MAO first. Ignore how pretty ARV minus ask looks.
If the hole is real money, do not write $10k under ask. On Jacksonville's median file that still leaves you about $36k over MAO. Your buyer will not take it.
Then pick one. Get a real price cut. Or pass. Or take it to a buyer who does not need 70%. A landlord who wants the $863 leftover is not the same buyer as a flipper chasing ARV.
The 70% rule is why list is not the offer. If you cannot get near MAO, do not spend the week on rapport.
