@Adam B Henderson I'm not sure of the weather in VA, but in Columbus, we have rental seasons (March thru October) and the months in between can be tough at times to find renters because no one wants to move in the cold.

Our niche is finding foreclosure/probate leads, which we generate from having a VA look through local county records.

Hello BP Nation,
We need your help. Without getting to far into the weeds, We’ve recently purchased a little Mixed-use building in downtown Phoebus (Hampton) VA.
It’s a cute little wreck, and will need EVERYTHING, i...

I am a home-owner and have been for 2 years now.Anyways, I am attempting to crunch some numbers for the first time in order to practice my basic analysis of a property and to see if it is/what makes it a "good deal".The address I am working with is relatively local (in state): 3043 6th St, Morgantown, WV 26508This is near West Virginia University and has bus routes nearby for transportation to campus!

I am in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

@Brock Fica Best piece of advice I wish I would have recieved when I was your age: use your VA loan to buy a house with zero money out of pocket and then rent out all of the other rooms and/or units (you can buy up to a 4-plex if you can qualify) to your buddies, which will basically provide you with free housing and probably make some money along the way.

hello to everyone. i have a question regarding a closing that is taking far too long. i have a flip house here in western new york. i finished it and put it up for sale in late august 2014. signed a sales contract with the buyer on november 11th. since then, he, the buyer, has given me a long list of repairs he wanted done on the place, which i did, including replacing the roof, myself, in the middle of december. now, since the repairs have been completed, i thought the closing would take place, as scheduled, on january 5, 2015. that date is written right in the contract. since then, he has " waffled" around with his VA loan, switched to a different bank and type of loan, and, as you can imagine, postponed the closing multiple times. i have heard from my agent and attorney on rare occassions that they need " this" or " that" from me. the latest thing they wanted from me was a letter indicating when the roof was completed. they already know this. i re-read my contract. i have what i believe are numerous reasons to cancel the sale. every week i hear " it should happen next week." i have been hearing that since mid january and here it is late march. also, within the contract, i have found a clause that allows me to demand a closing within 7 days of any notice i give them. should i contact their attorney and envolk the 7 day closing or notify them of my intent to cancel the sale effective immediately if we do not get a closing soon?

I was wondering if I should concentrate on markets like Virginia where I here is hot for investing opportunities.

. $800 estimates are actually high, I was paying $560 a year in NC and VA.
