From the brief amount of research I have done I think the first action I would take would be in the direction of Househacking. 

Hi there, I'm looking for anyone who can direct me to where I can find out more about real estate wholesaling in Texas.

A lot of people sleep on properties that have been sitting, but where some profitable opportunities are.That said, I’ve been spending a lot of time working directly with investors and sourcing off-market multifamily deals—ones that never make it to Zillow or Redfin.

Direct to seller.

I found my laundromat on BizBuySell, and I sold it through that site as well.I still absolutely think it’s worth networking with business brokers and doing direct outreach to business owners, but you don’t need to take listing sites off the table.If you’re sending out a lot of outreach messages on listing sites and you’re not hearing anything back, it may have more to do with you than the platform.

As a top bird dog in the area, I’m connecting buyers directly to end users, bypassing the traditional marketing process altogether.

Another neat little piece of VA loans is that they can allow for higher DTI ratios than conforming/fha loans because they primarily rely on residual income and not directly on DTI (it's complicated, but this will do for now).

I pay a real estate agent for listing properties and I handle payments through Rentec Direct app.What is the rate that should be paid for property management (partial PM as described).

The only thing the bank required is that I had a checking account with direct deposit setup into their account. 

DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction based on your specific goals!
