Investment property loans · Independent city, VA
Richmond investors renovate late-1800s and early-1900s homes in the Fan, Church Hill and the Northside, buy rentals near Virginia Commonwealth University, and look at new apartment buildings in former industrial areas like Scott's Addition. The state capital's economy runs on law, finance and government. Properties inside the city's Old and Historic Districts need approval before exterior work, and short-term rentals in residential zones must sit on the owner's own home lot, so plan most investment houses as long-term rentals or resales.
