@Marian Smith I saw where the flood zone has actually decreased a lot from 2014 -2017. It is moving away from the property. It is now 2020 but a new map has not been uploaded yet.

Forst off I am a HUGE rookie. I have been searching for a turnkey duplex for a while that needs little maintenance but will cash flow pretty decent.(First property and we have limited time to purchase and are tired of looking) Yesterday my real estate agent went and looked at a property thats just came back on the market because the previous buyer apparently had some last minute lender issues. The property is 1600 sq ft listed for $179,000 and when my agent got there the seller told her last minute that the property was a in a flood zone. I was thinking of putting in an offer at $170,000 for this reason plus I will have to redo the floors before I move in.

Im getting very impatient and really want to get the ball rolling on my first property but I always will never know my answer until I ask. What would you guys recommend?

My wife and I are attempting to buy our first investment property and hopefully house hack with it. We are struggling to find a property . I am currently deployed and my wife lives 4 hours away from the location we are moving to. How can I find deals from 8,000 miles away? I have multiple real estate agents searching but that hasn't helped me. Please help!

Hi, my name is Miguel. I am 23 y/0 and married and to my wonderful wife Autumn. I am currently deployed. We are looking to create passive income. Our goal is it to be financially independent with the goal of being wealthy. I am in search currently for a duplex in the Hampton VA area. We would like to do a house hack (living in one unit and renting out the other).

Any advice or resources to gain more knowledge?
