Driving for Dollars in High-Priced Virginia

I live in Loudoun County in Northern VA, avg price point is ~500k for a SFH and I am starting to drive for dollars.

Just curious for those that do/have done this:

- how do you approach this practice in areas where there aren't really any borded-up properties or "visibly distressed" properties?

- my investing strategy is buy/hold and BRRRR which I think works in this market because I'm making more long-term plays.

- have you found a deal/deals in a high priced market and can share the details?

FYI I'm a new investor so I'm still in the planning phase. I am still researching and part of that is coming to BP and masterminding with others. My goal is to get my first property in 2021.

Thanks all. Happy Monday

@Muoki Musau,

I'd strongly recommend getting outside of northern VA.... VA itself has a lot to offer! Find military bases, as it essentially locks down a transient population. Check out the Tri-cities, which is south of Richmond, Hampton roads, Roanoke or I've been hearing some things about Blackstone VA!
