New investor, looking for a good professional realtor, with knowledge of VA loan, and specialize in multi family properties in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas, looking to begin seeing properties by Oct 8, 2015, anyone able to recommend someone they know and or have done business with.

Hey, Welcome to BP. You're looking for the trifecta in a very specialized niche market. If you're going to use the VA loan, utilizing small multi, you're going to want to segregate those knowledge fields(VA Loan and MF properties) and know enough on your own to make the entire outcome favorable to your situation.

You're going to have to find the property yourself, then learn MF mechanics in deal analyzation simply becuase you need to know what a good MF deal looks like. 

Yes, your realtor can send you listings, but how many times are they going to do it until you decide on a property that's good for you? How quickly can you make a decision on location, numbers, then aesthetics? Knowing that will give you enough information to qualify a realtor in a few minutes instead of spending hours training one to work for you. 

You can just automate the process by having a realtor send you listings of MF properties in a certain location. Then taking the few minutes to decide wether or not you want to move on it. 

Just food for thought for a fellow veteran.
