Anyone have experience with VAs in this fashion?

You will need to find a broker who will let you do that as most just want you to sell and earn commissions for clients in the traditional fashion.

Call me old fashioned but my accountant and attorney have real offices and if we are going to be continually trying to elevate our image and level of professionalism we need a physical location.

Those of us that have been in the game for a while and had no other choice are used to doing it the old fashioned way.

Won't change their mind but you'll be on the record in the appropriate fashion.

They’re on the opposite end of the state presumably handling the transaction for the lender in some fashion. 

My team has been raising for a syndication in the FL panhandle and the raise has gone a little slower than we liked because we 1) underwrote it very conservatively so it doesn't mislead people, 2) We do not hype the deal when speaking with potential LPs - It is simply an investment our GP team is making with millions of our own capital and we are inviting people to join us on the journey, and 3) We are not dropping massive amounts of money on a marketing machine and doing word of mouth and old fashioned networking to get the word out.  

Sometimes, no matter what you say, people will still do whatever they want to do...and sometimes people actually do execute in a good fashion.  

I can only get this to post in a weird fashion but I should have also mentioned @JJ Gritts who runs a dealmakers group as well as an evening meet-up,  The evening group is coming up on the 12th.
