Retired Military newbie starting out in Norfolk, VA

[Roberto Costa]

Hey guys, I'm Rob from the Norfolk, VA and I am brand new to real estate investing and currently looking for avenues to get started. I retired from active duty in 2011 and went to work on a regular desk job and I've realized this is not for me. I have just put together a package to start my LLC and have gather a team of 2 realtors and an awesome contractor and I'm eager to get going. I want to build a portfolio of flipping single family homes in the Hampton Roads area of VA but I also travel a lot to Lexington, SC so willing to do deals around that Columbia, Cayce, Lexington area as well. Currently looking for a reliable hard money lender to do some of these deals. I'm willing to put some of my own skin into the deals so you know I mean business. PM if you feel more comfortable but I'm 100% smarter after being a member of BP than before I started so thank you all. Any help towards a reliable lender would be highly appreciated.
