Current tenets are potential buyers.

Anything shady could become a habit, and potentially land you in trouble.  

Potentially using some creative financing.

If you're starting early - say in your 20's - and have a job you like that has potential to make a reasonable income, you really don't have to do anything more than literally buy some decent quality homes and keep them rented, and it can be even easier if you just get a good PM and turn it over to them.

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

I'm interested in networking, advice and potential partnerships.

I wanted to know if there was any danger to this.

Buy and Hold: Norfolk (Best Cashflow Potential), VB (Townhomes tend to work well, Green Run is a great area for cashflow), Chesapeake, Newport News, Suffolk (Less Military presence which is why i would put last.)STR: VB (in the proper zones if you have the money $850K+), Norfolk(Ocean View area specifically but have to watch out for the AICUZ restrictions), Leave the restPart of that decision process is distance to that I would need to travel to deal with rehabs, I hate dealing with the tunnels so I would almost always pick places on the peninsula last since I am based in Chesapeake.

Cautious buyers forecast their exits with a decompressing exit cap rate because they believe that things are really good right now and to expect it will always be this good is dangerous thinking.  

Focus on finding a great first property with good bones and solid rental potential.
