I like the idea of pre-foreclosure especially, but have not found up to date data for that specifically.

Specifically, I'm interested in hearing your recommendations for:- Deal sourcing and lead generation- Cold calling and outreach- Deal analysis and ARV calculations- Estimating rehab costs- Tools or calculators you use to determine whether a flip is worth pursuingFor deal finding, I’m currently evaluating PropStream and Flipster as a beginner.

If possible, could you please break down the most specific step by step process you take on your flips?

She specifically does a lot of STRs, so I believe she's the go-to in the area.As for Fredericksburg itself, I agree with @Evan Tuuk.

However, consider calling the VA’s regional loan center or speaking with a VA-approved lender who can interpret the rules in a more specific scenario tailored for you.

If you need eyes and ears or want an opinion on a specific property, I am always happy to assist. 

Not only is it the right thing to do to help them get their legal ducks in a row about knowing SPECIFICALLY what the seller did wrong, ie did not disclose and can prove it was done for the sole purpose of deception to make the sale "smoother" but it can help you look good and have you learn how to avoid in the future (as you say "tighten up your due diligence")It sucks when agents "help" 1st time or largely inexperienced buyers long enough to make the sale and get their commission but then peace out on the client when something like this happens.It It seems like you are attempting to do the right thing which is admirable bc at the end of the day, the court system is the closest thing to a "business police" that ppl can get. 

Quote from @Sonia Vanegas: You both screwed up by failing to be specific.

I saw someone post in a group who I think is a schmuck brag about hitting a specific figure for their training and I just shook my head - like wow - this person is a great sales person and just steals the same lines from the business book about working hard and throwing out some slick slogans - but man oh man - when real estate gets hard people move to being a guru - just look at FB ads right now - many are not funds anymore but how to raise money, how to do X.

In his, it may be called something else, but once he checks it, his software should unlock all past losses specifically linked to the sold property.
