There are a lot of great meet ups I can point you to to meet other investors and learn, but the ones I know of are all in NoVa.

We found financing with Mitchell Jones at Nova Home Loans in Tucson.

I have been doing this for over 10 years SOLO, no va's, no dispo managers, just me!

Becky Nova, the woman who runs it, is on Facebook and YouTube.

We've made our first connection, for insurance, and plan on attending REI meets in the NoVA area and will invest in RVA. 

I live in NoVa and hoping to expand to this area but ineed to be more educated and aggressive. 

Hi All,Trying to understand if anyone else is finding any residential  deals in Nova area and at what cap rates?

We are doing much better than covering costs, etc. but this was a 1031 exchange and I had one simple goal (among others) to beat our previous numbers in the NoVA/DC area.

Welcome to BP, Jeff - Very familiar with NOVA as I went to VT. 

@Golan CorshidiI do not invest solely based on appreciation I invest based on area which if it’s a good area then yes it should have appreciationTwo assets I have at first had little to no cash flow in them and ten years later the cash flow is there as well as the appreciation because not only were values increasing but so were rents in that area - and this was pre covid This answer also is based on your time frame or horizon - I invest long term and find again investing in good areas is a great way to build wealthI would rather have 1 $500,000 asset in northern Virginia than 10 50,000 assets in Gary IndianaOn paper will Gary have a lot more cash flow - yes - but in ten years who has a higher net worth - it will be that one property in NOVA
