Virginia Beach · Navy veteran-owned
PCS orders, water in the crawl space, a roof on borrowed time or a parent’s house full of furniture. Get a fair, no-obligation cash offer, fast, from a local buyer who knows what repairs really cost.
Your situation
Maybe the orders came through and you report somewhere else before the house could ever be ready to list. Maybe it was your parents’ place, it still holds their things, and nobody in the family lives close enough to handle it.
Or the estimates are in: the roof, the HVAC, the soft spot by the back door. Added up, they eat most of what you hoped to walk away with.
You do not need a renovation plan to sell. You need a straight answer about what the house is worth as it stands, and the freedom to say no.
Your options
There is more than one right answer. Here is the short, honest version of each, including the ones that are not us.
Why us
Remodeling Investment Group is owned by Angel Gomero, a U.S. Navy veteran who has worked as a contractor and, as an investor, has closed on a lot of properties. He is local to Hampton Roads.
In a city built around a master jet base, the Navy part is practical. Angel knows what a report date does to a family’s calendar, so the sale is planned around yours.
The contractor background shows in the offer. A roof, a damp subfloor or an aging air handler gets priced at what it really costs, not padded.
Virginia Beach is a Navy town, and orders move houses here all year. When yours arrive, you can list from wherever you land, rent the house out, or sell before you leave.
Sell to us and you pick a closing date that fits your report date. No showings to work around while the movers pack.

Flood risk
The city says it plainly: its elevation and closeness to water leave Virginia Beach open to flooding from heavy rain, hurricanes and nor’easters. If water has been inside your house, you know how fast the repair list grows.
Here is what owners often learn late. In a Special Flood Hazard Area, once repairs reach half the building’s market value, the work must meet the city’s floodplain rules, which can mean raising the lowest floor above the base flood elevation.
We buy flood-damaged and flood-zone houses as they are, before or instead of that rebuild.
Older homes
Half the homes in Virginia Beach were built in 1984 or earlier, by Census estimates. Many have been kept up well. Many others still have original windows, a tired roof and ductwork nobody has opened in years.
A buyer with a mortgage usually brings an inspector, and the inspector brings a list. We skip that round and make an offer on the house as it stands.
Assessments
The Assessor’s FY27 report put median appreciation for all Virginia Beach property at 5.23%, and the rate stayed at $0.97. A bigger assessment means a bigger bill.
That bill arrives whether the house is lived in, rented or sitting empty after a parent passes. Add insurance, utilities and yard care, and an empty house costs money every month.
Local costs
Two local numbers matter: the yearly tax while you hold the house, and the state grantor tax that normally comes out of the seller’s side at closing.
Real estate tax, FY2027
$0.97 per $100 of assessed value
The general rate held at $0.97 for FY27, the same as the year before. Special service districts such as Sandbridge pay their own rates.
Holding cost example: at that rate, a house assessed at $382,500 owes about $3,710 a year in real estate tax, roughly $309 a month.

State grantor tax
$0.50 per $500 of value
The seller pays it unless the buyer agrees to cover some or all of it, so ask about it with any offer, ours included.
| Example sale price | $382,500 |
|---|---|
| $500 units | 765 |
| Grantor tax at $0.50 each | $382.50 |

Selling to us
The state recordation tax on a deed is 25 cents per $100 of the price or the latest assessment, whichever is greater. The statute does not say which side pays it.
Virginia Beach’s rate was also $0.97 per $100 as of July 1, 2025.

Seamless experience from start to finish.
I had to relocate for a new job on short notice and needed to sell my home fast without dealing with endless open houses or repair demands from retail buyers. Remodeling Investment Group made a direct cash offer, handled all the paperwork, and let me pick my closing date. Truly stress-free!
Saved me from a huge headache!
I inherited a property that needed a massive amount of work—roof leaks, outdated plumbing, you name it. I didn’t have the time or funds to fix it up before putting it on the market. Remodeling Investment Group came through with a fair cash offer within 24 hours. The process was smooth, transparent, and we closed in under two weeks. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Perfect solution for landlords ready to step away.
After dealing with problematic tenants and constant repairs on my rental property, I was ready to exit. Remodeling Investment Group bought the property as-is—no cleaning or repairs required. They were honest, polite, and kept every promise they made. A top-tier team!
Questions
Yes, anywhere in the city and in any condition, from the Resort Area and Lynnhaven to Pembroke and Sandbridge. Send us the street address, and we will make an offer on the house as it stands.
Yes, as-is, with nothing to repair, dry out or elevate first. If you know the house is a repetitive risk loss property, tell us up front: Virginia requires a seller with that knowledge to disclose it (Va. Code § 55.1-708.2).
No. We look at each house on its own, near the base or not. Virginia’s disclosure statement tells buyers the owner makes no representations about nearness to a military installation or its noise (Va. Code § 55.1-703(B)(19)).
You tell us the report date, choose a closing date that fits, and we close on it once title is clear. Angel is a Navy veteran, so we plan around orders instead of asking you to bend them.
No agent commissions, and we cover standard closing costs. Virginia’s grantor tax is normally the seller’s unless the buyer agrees to pay it (Va. Code § 58.1-802), and we walk through every number before you sign.
For a house in good shape, often yes. A listing can bring more if you have the time and money to prepare it and wait. A cash offer trades some of that for no repairs, no showings and your closing date, so get our number and compare.
Yes. Back taxes are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing. Virginia also lets an owner stop a tax sale by paying everything owed before the sale date, so talk to the Treasurer early (Va. Code § 58.1-3965).
