Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Jackson, MS

Jackson is Mississippi's capital and largest city, and it lost 11.4% of its population between 2010 and 2020. Deals range from renovations of older houses in Belhaven and Belhaven Heights near downtown, to commercial and mixed-use buildings in Fondren, to single-family rentals in west Jackson's postwar subdivisions. Two local factors shape the numbers. A federal court-appointed manager, JXN Water, has run the water system and billing since late 2022 and the sewer system since 2023, and exterior work in five local historic districts needs city review.

Where investors buy

Neighborhoods investors look at in Jackson

Jackson had 75,173 housing units in 2020, and 14.7% stood vacant. Belhaven Heights is mostly detached wood-frame houses of one or one-and-a-half stories in Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Craftsman styles, Farish Street was built mostly between 1890 and 1930, and west Jackson's Medgar Evers district is a 1950s subdivision of one-story ranch houses.
Belhaven and Belhaven HeightsBelhaven Heights (on the National Register since 1983, enlarged in 1998) and Belhaven (listed in 2012) are both local historic districts, so new windows, doors, additions and other exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
FondrenAbout three miles north of downtown, past the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Fondren's commercial core along North State Street and Old Canton Road is a National Register district whose buildings date mostly from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Farish StreetThis 125-acre district, roughly bounded by Amite, Mill, Fortification and Lamar Streets, was a hub for Black-owned businesses until the 1970s, most of its buildings date from 1890 to 1930, and it is one of the city's five local historic districts.
West Jackson (Medgar Evers district)About three miles northwest of downtown, the Medgar Evers Historic District is a mid-1950s subdivision of 44 properties, mostly one-story ranch houses, that is a local historic district and has faced blight in recent years.

Good to know

Before you buy in Jackson

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Jackson and Hinds County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Open water and sewer service with JXN Water, not City Hall. Under a federal court order, a third-party manager working through JXN Water took over the drinking water system and billing in November 2022 and the sewer system in September 2023. Budget for the $50 new service fee and a refundable deposit, which JXN Water's pages list at $100 on one and from $150 on another, so confirm the amount. Rates that began March 23, 2026 add a $40 monthly availability charge for a 5/8-inch meter.
  • Check whether the property is in one of Jackson's five local historic districts (Farish Street, Medgar Evers Neighborhood, Morris, Belhaven Heights and Belhaven) or is one of its 14 local landmarks. New windows or doors, additions and new construction need a Certificate of Appropriateness ($40, plus $40 per additional 5,000 square feet), while like-for-like roof work can use a $15 Compliance Agreement.
  • Register each rental with the city's Office of Code Services through its online portal to receive a Rental Certificate. The program requires a local agent who can act for the owner, and code enforcement follows the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code with local amendments.
  • Check FEMA flood zones for property near the Pearl River. The National Weather Service gauge at Jackson puts flood stage at 28 feet, notes that many homes in Northeast Jackson flood at 38 feet, and lists a record crest of 43.28 feet in April 1979, with a 36.67-foot crest as recently as February 2020.
