Looking to Invest in Virginia Real Estate?

Though this economy is bad for many, it can be the perfect time to invest in Virginia real estate. Banks are still foreclosing and homes are still being sold at a cheaper price than they ordinarily would have. There are actual investment clubs in the Virginia area that you can join. Did you know that VA loans can be used to buy real estate, as long as the person intends to reside there? These types of loans however, cannot be used on real estate that will be considered purely an investment. Other loan opportunities, including online loans, abound though.

What Kind Of Real Estate Is Available For Investment In Virginia?

The shorter answer would be what isn’t. However, the following is a list of various properties that are available for purchase in Virginia (be it as an investment or for personal use):

  • An office building; for $1,000,595; square footage of 12,000
  • A commercial building; for $872,000; 2357 square feet
  • Warehouse and office combination (industrial); $640,000; square footage of 6838
  • Retail building with drive through option; price is currently unlisted (hmm); 3100 square feet
  • Rental suites (4) considered commercial; $3,350,000; square footage of 7467
  • Possibly a little more within an affordable price range is an office building which is currently utilized by the medical profession that has handicapped accessibility and has covered parking; and adjacent office is also available; $279,000; 1116 square feet. Affordable but kind of puny.

These are of course commercial properties. Possibly you are looking into investing in something more on the lines of a home or duplex either to rent out or live in.

Looking For Home Sweet Home

Virginia is a virtual hotbed of available real estate in areas such as Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Virginia Peninsula, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, York County, Williamsburg, Hampton Roads, Tidewater and more.
