@Amy H. Thank you for you input Amy!

I live a couple hours away from Norfolk/ Virginia Beach area but am looking to begin investing there in the next six months. Prior to the storm, I had been visiting on the weekends to try and familiarize myself with the neighborhoods and look at potential deals. I was wondering if those of you who are more familiar with the area could recommend good areas/neighborhoods or disclose areas/neighborhoods that might be considered "D" or "F"?  

Thanks Nathan! 

Hello!

I am an buy and hold investor looking to expand to the Hagerstown, Maryland market. I have noticed that many of the listings discuss having a lead paint certificate. I want to know how cumbersome it is to acquire a lead paint certification for Maryland? Is it something that requires removal of all the lead paint in the house?

Thanks,

Ben  

Thank you JR T.

Hello,

I am new to BP and have been listening to the podcasts to get started. I am interested in buy and hold properties from SFU to smaller multi-family units. In a couple of the early podcasts they advise analyzing 3 deals a day to familiarize yourself with your market and to know what a good deal looks like. I have been trying to find the information to run the calculations but not on an easy enough platform to run 3 analyses per day. Is there something better than Zillow to get the numbers to familiarize yourself with a market?

Thanks,

Ben
