    Hi there.  I'm also in Hampton Roads and an investor.  I hate to be discouraging, but I'm not sure this will be as easy as you think. Norfolk is strict on zoning so first you will have to find a lot in a neighborhood that will allow for your multi.  I've been working on one myself and we had a lot in a neighborhood that allows multis and is really deep.  The city said my lot isn't wide enough for what they will allow, although it is wide enough for a single family.  We got luck and the house next door went up for sale, so we bought it.  A lot of ducks need to be in a row to accomplish your goal.  I'm not saying it's not possible, but am just suggesting you also look for buildings that are already build that you can buy. Not only will your numbers look better, it will be much easier to achieve.
