I went to different banks and they told me my income wasn't good enough or they would only do 75% of Appraised value.

It sat at about 8000rsf and was good enough to pay its expenses and put a little bit into pocket with little to no effort involved. 

But if you find a deal and it's good enough, the buyers will find you.

Often, especially with the first house, a good deal is a good enough deal.Good luck!

Get a good enough deal that a hard money lender will cover 100% of the purchase price.

Is that good enough to qualify?

Really that was my rough estimate for running the analysis to see if it looked good enough to get contractors there to give me bids.

They typically have a slightly higher rate (by 0.5-1%) and a 20-year amortization, but I look at that as motivation to work to find deals good enough to make up for the lost cash flow potential.

In VA, you probably don’t have many of these day, so maybe a space heater or two would be good enough.

If you can find and negotiate a good enough deal, the ability to put it under contract is not that much harder.If you do bird dog the person you are referring the deal may be able to write up the contract is a way that would allow you to be part of the deal and legally accept the fee.
