Real Estate Investing in Martinsburg West Virginia

Real Estate Investing in Martinsburg West Virginia

We have come to love being apart of the real estate investing community in Martinsburg West Virginia and the surrounding areas of Berkeley County WV. Recent large scale local investments from Global commerce companies, Procter & Gamble and Amazon, the area is growing at a steady clip and is attaching lots of interest. Most of these are blue collar jobs and that has projected to be very good for the local landlords and Real Estate investors in general. It has pushed prices ups and demand is high making Berkeley County WV a great place to invest.

This growth has also had an impact on inventory for affordable housing. The purchasing side of the equation has become more difficult due to low inventory and has adversely affected the availability of all types of property. Flipping Single Family homes in the average price points is easy money if you have the skills to find them and then make the home safe and appealing to entry-level buyers.

Some may say that the national economy is as good as it has ever been and those factors are based on the many variables of which some are at play in Berkely county. That may have something to do with it but overall Martinsburg and Berkeley county WV are far enough on the outer ring of the Washington DC metro area that when there is a downturn it will be less likely to be as deep and long term as in the more high priced national boom and bust markets. Those areas characteristically have high price appreciation and large crashes. Here in Berkeley County, we can expect a boom and bust cycle but the severity of that will be on a much lower scale. Most workers and Investors will not even notice it depending on your niche.  More experienced investors find a way to make real estate investing work in both an up and down market.

Our company has a large portfolio of rental homes so we are very experienced understand the local rental market. We also fix and flip homes. We work with many investors providing them off-market properties to either fix and flip or fix and rent. We have recently dabbled in private lending. We are constantly marketing for Berkeley County homes. We find distressed, vacant, or occupied rental homes with tenants all ready in place paying rent.

If you are new to real estate investing and want to find a great starting point. Just like we did you should start at your local Real Estate Investor Meetup. Check ours out for more info.
