Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Virginia Beach, VA

Virginia Beach investors buy beach houses near the Oceanfront and in Sandbridge, where many homes rent by the day, week or month, and suburban houses in boroughs like Kempsville, which grew fast after the city merged with Princess Anne County in 1963. NAS Oceana and other Navy installations sit inside city limits. South of the Green Line the city stays mostly rural. For any beach house, the city's short-term rental permit rules decide whether it can take stays shorter than 30 days.

Where investors buy

Neighborhoods investors look at in Virginia Beach

North of the Green Line, the city is running short of open land for new building, and suburbs such as Kempsville grew quickly in the 1960s and 1970s. Sandbridge is mostly single-family homes plus four condominium complexes, and the North End neighborhood runs from 43rd to 89th Street. The 2022 American Community Survey counted about 191,000 housing units.
OceanfrontA three-mile concrete boardwalk links more than forty hotels, restaurants and shops, with the North End neighborhood running from 43rd to 89th Street.
SandbridgeA coastal community between the Atlantic and Back Bay at the north end of the Currituck Banks, where sand replenishment restored about 4.5 miles of beach after several homes were lost to the ocean through the mid-1990s.
KempsvilleThe Princess Anne County seat from 1778 to 1824 and now one of the city's boroughs, Kempsville grew rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s with subdivisions such as Acredale and Bellamy Woods.
Town CenterA mixed-use district that opened in 2003, partly financed through tax increment financing, and added the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts in 2007.
PungoA farming community about ten miles south of the city center, just below the Green Line that separates the developed north from the rural south.

Good to know

Before you buy in Virginia Beach

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Virginia Beach and Independent city. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Get the city's annual zoning permit before you take any reservation for a stay under 30 consecutive days. Whether a house qualifies depends on its location and on whether it is grandfathered, so check the city's eligibility map. The permit goes to the registered owner and is tied to the bedroom count on file with the real estate assessor, and no more than two guests per bedroom may stay after 11 p.m.
  • Budget for real estate tax at the FY2027 general rate of $0.97 per $100 of assessed value, billed in two installments due December 5 and June 5. Parcels in a special service district, such as Sandbridge, pay their own district rate, so check the parcel.
  • On a sale, the seller owes a Hampton Roads regional transit fee of $0.06 per $100 on top of the state grantor tax, unless the contract shifts it to the buyer. Virginia Beach is one of the six cities in the Transportation District Commission of Hampton Roads.
