Our lender wouldn't allow us to have a second mortgage through the VA because he said we would need some sort of emergency purpose/reason to do so. I know the limit for VA funding is $511k total if you had more than one property.

I have a few question about trying to start out investing using the BRRRR strategy ive been luring around the form for almost a year and decided i need to start investing. i just don't know were to start i get the concept of the strategy.

should i go to a real estate agent first then once i have found a deal bring the numbers to a hard money lender?  should i wait to talk to a bank about the refi until i have purchased it or until its rented? its a lot of moving parts and i would just like to have as much info as possible and peoples experience on how they went threw the whole process any help is appreciated.
