I know that this is a big risk property but I believe that it has the potential for high return if I can get all of this permitting and renovation work figured out on the front end.I'm just looking for any advice on how to cover myself on the front end prior to making an offer and how to expedite the work so that I can get renters in and start recouping on the investment as soon as possible.

If your goal is to simply take over a property that has a VA loan, you just start making the payments without bothering the lender. 

To start out, I'm finding renters on my own and am not renting through AirBnb or VBRO.

Can some please help me with a game plan of where to start?

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Alternatively, in a QBO Simple Start or Essentials subscription, if seeing profitability by property is important, you could still structure your chart of accounts to reflect each home, though your P&L will be a bit more lengthy & harder to digest.If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, happy to walk you through the pros & cons of QuickBooks options!

I am not an accountant, but need to start using more sophisticated accounting software. 

Now I am starting off on my own doing traditional wholesaling in Central FL, with an additional bonus of being able to offer low equity mirror wrap solutions to those who are in need.

We host an investor meet up monthly in Alexandria, could be a good place to start.
