Competing with other investors

[Ryan Hanrahan]

I will be getting in to my first investment by buying a multi family and living in one side. I don't have much to my name so I will be using my VA loan with 0% down to get me started. But, I know, especially in my area multi family's are off the market really fast. Whether I am putting 20% or 0% down, how do I possibly compete with experienced investors paying cash for properties?
