My partner and I are looking for profitable flip opportunities in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Our criteria is simple and consists of Homes with at least 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, not owner occupied, and away from war-zones. A garage is preferred, but off street parking is a must. We already have pre-approved funding and are able to close on two deals at the moment. 

Looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

I'll get some printed right away. No, she hasn't shown them to me. She has mostly been helping me with the flipping portion of searching.

@Patti Robertson Yes, I am working with an agent. She has also given us partial access to the MLS as well. The amount of patience wholesaling was asking for I just didn't have at the time lol. I'm much better now though. I understand that it is a process. I want to make sure my first step is a solid one so that I can keep on going. I'm hoping to attend TRIG and PREIA this month. I've heard great things about them. Is there anything I need to bring with me when I go?

Hi @Curtis Jordan. Honestly of the three investment strategies, wholesaling is by far the hardest in today's market.  Hampton Roads is flooded with investors and short on deals.  We've already flipped half the market and gobbled up most of the rentals during the last 10 years.  We are literally now getting back around to rebuying the houses we flipped 10 years ago.  Have you considered trying either landlording or flipping instead or in addition to wholesaling?  I think you'd get a faster start and be less discouraged.  Just a suggestion from someone who actively does all three. 

Hello. Thank you for the suggestion. Yes I have considered landlording and flipping. That is currently my plan. I have enough funds now for a few flips, just having trouble finding properties to do so. I am also in the process of getting preapproved for a mortage to obtain some multifamily properties to use as rentals. Once I am preapproved I will start my search, unless I come across a great seller financing deal that will leave some cashflow for me aswell. Do you have any more advice for finding homes to flip in hampton roads? Or ways to go about finding seller financed deals?

Hey everyone. I'm taking time to reintroduce myself. I started my journey in RI about a year ago. I was new, excited, impatient, and highly inexperienced. I barely had anything saved up to begin investing with, and hoped to use wholesaling to jump start my RI life. After, a few months of denied offers, and lack of leads I became frustrated. Instead of giving up, I decided to take a step back and work on myself more. I read books, watched videos, spoke to investors around my area, worked more overtime at my current place of employment, and developed connections with agents and contractors. I've acquired a business partner as well as funding for deals, but I've hit a wall. I have the agent, the contractor, and the funds, but can't quite get my hands on the deals. I'd love to talk to some wholesalers, agents, and other investors who have some advice, or even deals they'd like to share in the Hampton Roads/NoVa area. Thanks you in advance, and hope to hear from you all soon.

Welcome! Glad you're here. There are lots of ways to learn more and get involved in the local real estate investor community in NOVA. Bigger Pockets is great. I'd also recommend joining a local group or two... I'm a member of Capital REI, which is run by @Roger Lin, @Justin Pierce, and @John Rubino. This is a great group that meets in Fairfax City each month. Nice group with lots of good people in it. I can provide more details if you're curious. You can

Also, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction for things to think about and consider as you make a decision regarding your next steps.

Please check out my profile and reach out if you think I might be able to help you. I have lots of clients in the same boat- just getting started and trying to make the best possible choices as they move forward. It's great that you're reaching out for advice. That's a VERY smart first step. :)

Hey Elizabeth, thanks for the welcome. I'll be sure to give Capitol REI a look. I plan on attending as many meetings as I can. I'm located in Hampton Roads, but I don't mind the drive. I'don't love more info if you don't mind. I would love any help and guidance you'd be will to share with me.
