Many agents steer their sellers away from VA buyers (in a multiple offer / hot market situation) because they perceive the VA loan process to be difficult.

If you see really low rates, that likely means your investment will struggle to make money, and will also be difficult to sell in the future.

Here's why I ask... if you're a first time buyer you'll face a difficult challenge satisfying lender guidelines. 

You know the type, they pop up here on BP for a couple weeks, advertise their product, usually try to create some threads attacking my business in an attempt to take some of my market share and then a couple weeks or months later they realize how difficult the space is and poooof......They gone. 

They were understanding when I said no, and the items like the tub mat I did take care of didn't cost too much so overall it was ok and I survived.Every now and again when you get a difficult guest, grin and bear it, and know they'll be gone soon.

The northwest side of SA has decently priced properties around 130-150k properties that rent for about 1k-1,600k i like the area alot and is actually growing pretty quickly so finding tenants would not be very difficult.

Like so many topics in the building/housing space, there are two valid sides to all of these coins, and finding where equilibrium is between those sides is a very difficult job for our governing bodies.

Can refer if desired.Like Ko said the first one is the most difficult & then it gets easier to move on.Best,Mike

You can look up cash buyers on propwire free, and reach out to the LLC owners by looking them up, or call the agent and ask them.Another option would be to find some private money lenders, and get them to go down on a hard money loan with you, unless you can get all the capital from one person alone (this is very difficult because most people won't loan that much to someone new to real estate).
