JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 31, 2020 (Newswire.com) – A group of Jacksonville,
Florida nurses and other health care workers who have a passion for renovation
founded [Jax Nurses Buy

to help fund research and medical care for the greater Jacksonville area. It
couldn’t have come at a better time.
Never has there been a time in recent history when acting locally can make a
huge impact on the future of the nation – and the world. Jax Nurses Buy
Houses is tackling two major challenges on the local end: the need for
research and health care and the need for affordable housing.
Their work is straightforward: Locate houses in need of repairs, transform
them into affordable, yet comfortable homes, donate a portion of their profits
to research and health care, and then repeat. Globally they work alongside 66
other [real estate
investors](https://stats.newswire.com/x/im?act=eyIyMnVkN2giOiIyMnRmMmQiLCIyMnVkN2YiOiIyMnRmMmYifQ&final=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newswire.com%2Fnews%2Fhouse-flippers-across-the-country-band-together-in-charitable-coalition-21117454&hit%2Csum=WyIyMnRmMmoiLCIyMnVkN2giXQ)
who also work to improve people’s lives and transform their local
communities by giving back.
Their passion for people, though, goes further than helping owners sell
less-than-perfect houses. Their work as nurses has made them aware that
Jacksonville and the surrounding areas need more than platitudes when it comes
to providing health care to its most vulnerable residents. To help solve that
problem, they pledged to donate some of their profits to provide that care.
One of the founders of Jax Nurses Buy Houses, Chris McDermott, has been in the
real estate business since 2006. Now, he’s both a real estate investor, a
[realtor](https://stats.newswire.com/x/im?act=eyIyMnVkN2kiOiIyMnRmMmQiLCIyMnVkN2YiOiIyMnRmMmYifQ&final=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcdermottrealty.net&hit%2Csum=WyIyMnRmMmwiLCIyMnVkN2kiXQ)
– all while still serving as a nurse practitioner. His partners, Joshua
Rodenborn, a registered nurse, and Sunny Kapadia, a specialist, all share a
common love – buying old houses and renovating them into welcoming homes.
Their unique approach is a breath of fresh air in the real estate industry,
where cutthroat deals often leave homeowners out in the cold. McDermott says,
“We are not ordinary house buyers looking to squeeze every ounce of profit.
We are nurses buying houses to help build our local community in the form of
housing and through research and medical care.”
Jax Nurse Buy Houses is a group of nurses and other health care workers who
buy and renovate Jacksonville-area houses. In addition to helping homeowners
sell houses that need extensive repairs, they also donate a portion of their
profits to research and medical care for the greater Jacksonville region.
