Why am I being ignored?!

Hello everyone,

I'm a new investor and I'm currently searching for a multifamily property in West New York. I'm separating from the military at the end of the year and I will be attending college. I will only be receiving GI Bill money because I can't get a job yet, GI Bill money cannot be used for a mortgage because it's not considered income, so I will have to find a place with owner financing or lease options...

Every real estate agent I try to reach out to just ignores me; it's becoming frustrating. I understand the reason I'm being ignored is because no one wants to help someone starting out without any solid money because they would probably just waste a lot of time.

What can I do here?! Should I rent and wait on promised income? Reach out to FSBO's?

I'm not entirely ignorant of Real Estate, I just need one break to prove this fact.

I want to have a home locked in before I arrive with all of my household items and no house!

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Best regards,

Richard Boyd
