I work w/ an investment firm and in April, May, June we bought & sold 10 properties each month.  30 total. 

I run a private lending firm but in speaking to colleagues in the conventional and non qm world, there are a multitude of loan options out their for investment properties.  

There are a few boutique firms that practice 506b offerings.

Most firms will provide you with an upfront analysis, so you can see what your benefit would be.

And I'm a firm believer that the wealth creation is in the equity growth over time.

I know these guys aren't technically in Norfolk, but Shaheen Law Firm, PC in VA Beach, off Witchduck, is the best!

4) Would you hire a real estate firm?

Knowledge is power, so don't rush into anything without knowing you have a firm grasp on the opportunities you want to partake in!

Originally from Springfield, Missouri, but moved to Arizona for my Master's degree in hydrology, I am currently working as a hydrologist for a water resources engineering firm in Tempe.My current goals in real estate are to start out by BRRRRing SFHs, work up to BRRRRs for small multifamily properties, and eventually get into larger multifamily investing.

I suppose I could make them pay, but it's an insignificant expense by that point and almost always unnecessary.I firmly believe this is easier to do in long-term C'class SFR than in other properties.
