Looking to invest in Norfolk, Hampton Roads area

[Michelle E.]

Hi all,

I'm looking to invest in the Norfolk, Hampton Roads area. I'm originally from Maryland (close to DC) and currently live here but willing to move to be local to Norfolk/Hampton Roads if necessary. I don't have that much cash and find that I'm priced out of my area. Looking to network to understand the market more. I'm looking to do a house hack and open to doing STR, mid-term or long-term rentals. I have some experience doing mid-term rentals. Also looking for ideas on financing since I have $25-30k for down payment but if I can do it with less, that would be ideal. Looking primarily for cash flow. What does the rental market look like for STR, mid-market and long-term? Can I cash flow with a house hack here? Would love to connect with agents and other people who are familiar with the house hack model in this area.

Thanks,
Michelle
