Hey Sheen, nice to meet you. I find it pretty awesome that you've already established the idea that I'm trying to accomplish. I'm aiming around the end of the year to have mine set in stone. I just started a year lease in a apartment and when its over I plan on having my duplex already scoped out and hopefully financed by then. Also having the same goals in mind I wouldn't mind learning what you know and possibly experiences you've had so far while "house hacking" your duplex currently. I would definitely like to keep in touch and ask questions if I'm unable to find the answer via online or through books I'm reading.

Also thanks Thomas for that insight. I am new to this, so its pretty cool that my first forum post I got some great feedback!

Thank You, I haven't really had much exposure to the areas in Norfolk so I appreciate the input.

For a first time buy, is Norfolk a good idea to start my Real Estate career? I want a Duplex to house hack but I don't want to live in a dangerous area. So in that regards I'd rather use my VA loan to buy a single family home in Norfolk and flip it. Any response could really help me.
