New investor in the Richmond, VA areas- Looking for Rental's

[Shane Woodman]

Hi All, 

I just signed up for bigger pockets today. I've been building up capital over the past year and want to start investing in multifamily homes around Richmond, VA. I'm probably 8-10 months away from actually having enough capital, but I want to hear some suggestions if there are any. Any areas that are better than others?

@Shane Woodman: Welcome to BP! 

You ask a good question, and I think that being a few months away from having enough capital to do a deal can give you enough time to research and learn about the market you'd like to invest in.

Be sure to attend local Real Estate meetings near you. You can find them on the events page on BP or on meetup.com.

These meetings are great places to introduce yourself to others and ask them the questions you have about the market if they have experience there.

One other thing: I am pretty new here myself, but I have listened to between 30 and 40 podcasts already and have learned a  lot from them. I also find them very entertaining to listen to as I do my housework.

Best of luck!
