@Shawn Tuma & @Chris KayVery difficult in today's market to cashflow putting 0% down:(5-10 years ago it was possible, but prices have increased faster than rents.Your best bet is to find a property that needs work, but will still pass a VA appraisal/inspection.

I think you're best bet for private money is going to be to network at the meetups (Red Stick REI, RING) and on FB/here.
