Would love to share info as we get it.

I'm trying to glean "where can I learn this from" I picked up a couple of pieces of info : "Note Investor", and "Passive Pockets" -- what other little nuggets, and bits and clues of information can you give ? 

MarketFinder: Helps you identify potential markets across the US that fit your criteria for investing and shows you this info below plus more based on zipcode, here's an example for a zip in Denver. https://www.biggerpockets.com/marketsDealFinder: Once you find a market you can dig into specific homes on the market at  https://www.biggerpockets.com/deals

I would send someone to the office and the properties - I am assuming you do not have the tenants contact info.

BiggerPockets website is good for the American market (mostly) but you will also find lots of Canadians on here and some good info on the Canadian market just by searching.There are worthwhile local West Coast resources for learning real estate investing in general and the Canadian and Vancouver markets in particular.

In setting up the platform I have connected with someone local in the area and that will be my 1st point of contact and I could share his info for you to reach out.

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'm not sure if I can share his info here, but I'd be happy to share his info along with some other recommendations.  

Do this enough I guarantee you will get great info, insight, and just maybe an old timer ready to retire out who's open to seeing what they can do to make a deal work.

A quick google search will give you his contact info.
