@Ernest Grindle Thank you for that info! I will be in Norfolk from ~17Sep until ~20Oct. Would you be interested in getting together and talking to me about your criteria and what you've learned in that competitive market?

617 will always be home! If you've ever watched the movie "Patriots Day", that's the town I grew up in (Watertown, MA). Enjoy Boston! It's a great city and I miss everything about it except for the snow lol

@Noelle Yarn Hello! You seem to be the only one in this thread that is still active on BP. I am looking to expand my network in VA and possibly invest in the Chesapeake/Norfolk area from out of state. I go to Norfolk frequently for work (DoD civilian) and would like to get to know this market. 

Have you gotten any deals recently?

Post: I have a list...now what?

So I purchased a small list of absentee owners in a city of interest. I exported the list to Excel and started narrowing it down even further to a manageable size for my first time. Now what? Should I start handwriting letters and then bring them all of the post office? Is there an online service I can input my data into and they'll write and send letters for me? 

Searching the MLS and other conventional means haven't brought anything so I figure it's time another method.

Why not use that 200k in equity to buy a multifamily? If you did that would you stay in the SFR or rent it out and move into one of the MFR units?

Did you add this jacuzzi or was it there when you bought the property?

Why aren't you "prepared to post" your listing? Just based on that, I personally think you are hiding something that would result in input from the BP community that you are unwilling to accept. Just my honest opinion...
