Hi Brian,

Some of my clients have had success in the Shore Drive area of VB buying duplexes. Also Oceanview in Norfolk has a lot of duplexes for sale right now that are very reasonable. People love to live near the water :)

If you can find something near the oceanfront area, you can get higher rents. 

Let me know if you need any help locating some properties. 
Have a great memorial day weekend!

I wish I could come but I have a prior engagement. But please put me on the list for next time!

yes it's a little hard to find.

Wainwright Real Estate co might be a good option for you. 

They take 50% of your commission up to your $2900 per year fee, then you go to 100%. There is also a transaction fee. Check out their website for more info.

And you don't have to be a realtor which saves some cash. 

Good luck!

Hi Jeff and congrats to you on your license! It is difficult to find a broker who will provide both training and the ability to do investing without a lot of fees. I received my training at William E Wood which is now Howard Hanna. They have great training, but their fees are really high and your split is 50/50. So I moved my license over to Wainwright Real Estate for a while. They have a much better split. Basically it is 50/50 up to $2900 then after that it is 100%. If you don't sell anything, you don't pay any fees. You should schedule a meeting with Bob Wainwright the broker to see if his firm is a fit for you. There are no monthly fees involved and you do not have to be a member of the Realtor association which saves you some money as well. But they really don't provide training. I loved working for Wainwright, but I have recently moved my license over to Anchor Realty which is a smaller, boutique firm at the oceanfront. 

Good luck to you!

Hi David,

I currently live in VB and love it! Let me know if you have any questions about the area. I would love to help. I am a realtor and can help you find a home too. I am also a musician. VB has lots of entertainment opportunities. Check out beachstreetusa.com. I was a performer on Beach Street in the summer for several years. It's a fun, paying gig :)

Good luck with your move and let me know if I can help you in any way. :)

Hi Brian,

My current client is looking for a townhome or single family under 100K. 2-3 beds 2 baths. We have been looking in VB, Chesapeake, and Norfolk but we keep getting outbid.

He is a cash buyer and can close pretty quickly. He is actually a broker in NYC so not local, but a personal friend.

Please let me know if you have anything come up on the southside. My husband is a contractor so we are not afraid of a little work :)

Nice to meet you!

Hi Walter,

I am a little late to this thread but I just joined the site.

I am an agent with Anchor Realty in VB. Hope you are doing well. My contractor husband and I are trying to get back into investing. We've flipped a few homes already but are looking to do more.

Wishing you the best of luck with your business! Just wanted to say hi from one VB person to another :)

LOL okay...years!

You guys made me laugh.

Happy Tuesday!

Hi everyone!

My name is Alison "Anna" Wright and I am a Realtor with Anchor Realty in Virginia Beach, VA. I have been an agent since 2005 and have mainly focused on residential sales but have flipped a few homes on the side. I am interested in learning more about wholesaling and buying from wholesalers.

My investor friend in NYC introduced me to Bigger Pockets. There is so much information...I think I will be on this site for days! :)
