When researching online, it looks there are some instances where non-vets can assume VA loans, but the veteran's entitlement would remain tied to the loan.How common is this and are there ever situations when this a win-win for both sides?

Everything you need to learn/know is available online for free.

-The seller is on board with the idea of sharing equity (this needs to be documented upfront in the financing agreement).

I have read a lot of posts on Residential Assisted Living, that I am considering getting involved in, and seems like many of the posts make reference to RAL Academy and noted that there is an online version and in person version . . . wondering if any of you have taken either and if you would recommend one over the other and why.

@Ken M. rents are softening in the places that have had a lot of new units come on line.  

Quote from @Leeling Chew: Documentation probably isn't that big of a deal.

In-person interactions are great for building trust with potential investors.Real Estate Platforms:BiggerPockets: A robust platform for connecting with private lenders and investors.Fund That Flip, PeerStreet, Groundfloor: Online platforms connecting investors with real estate projects.Social Media Groups: Facebook and LinkedIn groups dedicated to real estate investing often have private investors or lenders looking to connect.Personal Network: Often overlooked, but friends, family, and colleagues may know individuals interested in investing.Private Money Brokers: If you're working on wholesaling deals, you may find brokers who have established relationships with private money lenders.Real Estate Agents: Some agents have connections with private investors, especially those focused on investment properties.For your 50% LTV, it's good to approach investors who may be interested in lower-risk, high-equity deals.

Start by networking through local meetups, REIA groups, and online communities like BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors.

I am open to creating an online networking group (not mastermind) of experienced investors.

I also want to make sure w seller financing there is an online dashboard i can log in at escrow or title company to track the loan paydown and monthly payments like w any mortgage bank.. did not see that on forums.
