Hi Chad,

  The Coastal Virginia rental market is strong due to a large influx of millennials, military and need for vacation homes. Come to the beach!  Congrats on your continued success. 

"Out of the top 10 cities in the country that millennials are moving two, three of them are right here in Coastal Virginia, according to a new study by smartasset.

The finance company took a look at which states and cities millennials are moving to in 2018.

Using Census Bureau data, the website looked at immigration and emigration data to find out where millennials are moving by looking at people between the ages of 20 and 34 who moved to the city in 2016 minus the number of people the same age who moved away."  -Alanea Cremen, 13 News Now

Hello,

Did you get an official appraisal done or are you basing it off of a Zestimate etc? In the past 6 months there has only been 8 duplexes that have sold at a price point below 300k in Virginia Beach on our MLS. FHA wont work on this deal if it has an official appraisal of 230k.

Good luck!

Hello,

Its a great market for pretty much everything due to the strong military presence.  Flipping is competitive and there are deals to be had but you have to do a lot of digging.  Building is difficult due to us being landlocked by water and hard to find lots/teardowns.  You probably already know this, but you can get a lot more bang for your buck here in comparison to Hawaii.  Im a big fan of finding duplexes in Norfolk.  Good luck with the move!

Hi Benjamin,

What kind of investing are you looking to do?   Buy/hold, fix/flip, section 8?  It will help to zone in on specific areas that are most productive for what you want to do.  Great idea to start looking in our area!

Hi John,

Thank you for reaching out.  There are duplex opportunities near NOB that would work with his BAH.   I have connected other investors with these in the past and know what to look for.  We would be honored to help him find something in the area.  My husband and I are both Realtors and active investors.  I served as an Ombudsman for VFA-11 in the past and we are both very familiar with military family needs.
