The idea was mooted in this earlier thread:- https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/834/topics/40...You will see that I was suitably impressed with that idea over on that thread - and the person who raised it as a possibility was suggesting it was totally within VA Rules!

You might consider using an investment advisor to evaluate which offerings are suitable and promising.

We then identify properties that will be suitable for our program and our cash partner in the deal takes title to it.  

If I changed my contingencies to make them more suitable and submit an all cash offer, wouldn't I need a all cash back end investor?

As far as other rental suitability hurdles go, the property is a new construction and would not need lead paint certification. 

Also, depending on your area, you may have to add more outlets to make it suitable for a bedroom and most garages are sloped slap on grade and are not sealed verywell to the elements.

Happy to pay a finders fee for a suitable property.

Unless value is added to the acquisition, the pricing of real property is such that it will not afford a suitable return to the investor putting up the money AND the investor finding the deal and a partner.  3.

Get a copy of your local legal news papers, find lawyers who are doing business and running ads in that publications; foreclosures, tax sale etc. call them.There is also a publication that list lawyers and what the specialize in, I am not sure the name of it, but it is a national publication.You can also find a suitable lawyers by attending houses and rent court in your area, chat with them, ask for referrals (in-between cases).You can also find some super deals there also.

My question to anyone out there is: Do you think it is possible to find any kind of suitable property in this neighborhood that could either be a multi or be made into a multi, and NOT have to buy one of the cheap, falling-down, gonna-cost-300K-to-fix properties that seem to be the only non-retail ones on the market?
