After getting some quotes and seeing the services provided I feel that I could do the job myself therefore saving that money.

I think too many people get into this and struggle for too long before realizing that they not been properly trained and potentially could have dramatically shortened the learning curve.   

I work with several clients that have tremendous relationships with social service organizations, particularly in the Midwest.

A full-service realtor will typically get you the best price and handle everything—marketing, negotiations, paperwork—making the process smoother.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

There are two different servicers involved. 

Maybe a yard maintenance (gardening, snow removal, lawn maintenance, etc) service. 

This is not "first time investor territory" and joining a "community" to get video training is very dangerous for this type of investing.

Are there any real estate attorneys in here that service VA that know what a lender can charge?

Many services only provide basic credit reports, which no longer include judgments and liens—key indicators of financial responsibility.
