Looking for Class C properties to analyze and then make an offer

[Aaron Ross]

I am in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area.  I am looking for older Apartment properties in the 1.5 million range that need some updating.  Without working with the conventional agent, what other ways can I identify apartment's and reach out to the ownership, the quickest?

Is there a map that identifies all zoning for existing apartments in my area?  I want to be efficient in my search.

What is the best Multifamily spreadsheet to use for analysis, out there on the market?

You could try finding the online GIS viewer maps for the community you're looking at and they usually have a zoning layer. Find out what zoning your desired use would be allowed in and then look for those districts and see what's developed there.
