Investing in Norfolk, VA area

[Katherine Sherrit]

Hello All!  My name is Katherine and I’ve been an investor in MI since 2007.  I am moving in the spring/summer for My husband’s residency at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital.  While this is exciting, I’ll be starting from scratch in a brand new area.   After house hunting online for ourselves, there seems to be a lot of opportunity.  In MI the market it very scarce and hard to find deals anymore.   I’ve seen some other threads of areas to avoid and I’m sure I’ll learn more as I get to the area.   Anyone have any tips or insight?

@Kristopher Kyzar Thank you for the mention! @Katherine Sherrit coming from MI? I'm from MI :) Born and raised, I went to Grand Valley State, but couldn't wait to get away from those winters after college :). I like to visit them when I go home to see my family though. I am a military spouse as well!! There are tons of meetups in the area and probably come July, you'll see people grouping back up and getting out there and networking again! It's a great investing environment here, lots of activity and like all the others said the strong military presence keeps a healthy flow of buyers, sellers, and renters! Get in touch when you start to head down it would be great to have a coffee and chat investing :)!!!!!!
