Many investors use wholesalers or real estate agents who specialize in investment properties, or they directly target owners with distressed properties.5.

Hopefully, if you are reading this, you will not be lured to actually invest without diving much deeper into how any capital raiser or direct sponsor actually goes about creating that return. 

My suggestion would be to get an investor friendly agent who knows a few local markets and have them guide you in the right direction.

Several of the contractors offer helical piers but don’t seem to think they’d be a more cost effective option - we can directly ask about this again.  

Ideally, I would like to use the BRRRR strategy with a small multifamily to start. 

I will probably use something different next time . . . maybe work directly with Transunion. 

So almost a little if both would be ideal.

I prefer not to do this just because of recapture when I sell the property.If I phrased anything in a confusing way or more details of necessary to answer, please feel free to ask me any questions.Thank you so much for any help or direction you could give me  

Some facts/info you may already know but if not:1) You assume the loan from the servicing bank, meaning you will work directly with the servicing bank.You assume the loan amount, but still need to come up with the difference of the VA loan amount and the sales price, in your case 172K. 2) No one will finance the entire remaining 172K amount.

I rented to assisted living as a 5/3.5; it was ideal.
