Has keyed our car, assualted our landscapers, and there used to be a meth lab upstairs.The neighborhood is mostly gentrified.

Definitely buy in the area that the neighborhood is appreciating

I just got back to the area after being gone for a little while and ready to jump back into the business and get my first deal under contract.I was looking to get everyone's opinions on what are the best neighborhoods to invest in to rehab currently in Norfolk and VA Beach?

There's money to be made flipping in the right neighborhoods with the right deals due to the high property values, but I haven't found rentals that work well there. 

Haven't spent much time in the neighborhood, but there is low crime compared to the rest of Chicago and public transportation nearby. 

My local website shows the following Studio- $651One BR- $793Two BR-$1020Three BR- $1484Four BR- $1797A quick look online for rents showsOne BR- $600 to $895Two BR- $850 to $2700Three BR- $1100 to $1625Four BR- $1350 to $2100I understand some are in a little bit better neighborhood's, some are apartments and some are house's.

The distance to linkages, (employment, shopping, etc) has a major impact on the reaction of a market whether in Alabama or elsewhere.

I was searching for foreclosures/preforeclosures and I found a relatively cheap/"the numbers worked"I do not have a credit or capital currently and FRANKLY, I DON"T WANT TO START OFF IN A "F-" NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE I DON"T WANT TO DIE OR ALMOST DIE every time I COLLECT RENT!!!!!!

Any realtors available for a quick neighborhood tour Tuesday afternoon ?

I have a similar voice message on the phone number, and text back the drive-by request if someone leaves a message w/o having seen the property and neighborhood.
