Very familiar with the VA market.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

I bought it off market at a great deal with a conventional mortgage as a primary residence with the plans to rent it after the 12 month period has passed so I can legally rent it.

We launched our CRM InvestorFuse in 2016 the original version being on Podio (A Turnkey CRM for wholesalers/investors doing their own direct-to-seller marketing). 

The market is efficient so where illegal immigrants are will causing housing prices to go up which will cause the efficient movement of people to less expensive housing which will cause that housing to go up which will then push people out again. 

Syndication is all about marketing.  

I pass on lots of stuff (mostly on-market, though) so if we know each other's needs, we may be able to work together. 

After buying one property how soon can you put yourself back in the market if you do have enough reserved for down payment/closing cost? 

The pros are you know you'll get paid and usually you get paid a higher rate than market rents. 

A direct purchase of a rental with no rehab, I would want 10% or greater.  10% would be my minimum in this market.
