They have a learn as you go mentality as far as training goes so I feel you need to be a bit more self-motivated starting out as opposed to if you worked for a more well-known brokerage with a more formal training program. 

Too many investors get frustrated because their VA doesn't deliver a bunch of motivated sellers ready to convert.

There is distress, and the seller, sometimes myself, was motivated, and creative financing worked.The seller is going to do what's in their best interest.

Anyways, my opinion is that you are clearly an intelligent and motivated worker.

One of our investor clients purchased a four unit there last year, and he has seen incredible rents 15-20% higher than initially projected. 

I'd agree with the above that the number is incredibly market dependant.

Be clear who is offering these opportunities to you and what is their motivation.

Which I know is not great response rate, but when I was getting calls, sellers had much more motivation and there was less competition.  

The seller was motivated to close quickly, and we negotiated a favorable price of $80,000, allowing us to secure the property at a discount and capitalize on its renovation potential.
