Depending on where you are in your search, I could help you get a qualification for loan as well as guide you on the Home Buying process.

I spent a better part of a year searching for cash flowing properties in Belleville, Columbia, Waterloo, O'Fallon, Collinsville, Dupo, Edwardsville, etc. 

That way once you are in the city you spend less time searching for properties and actually looking at them.

I really had to look within myself and determine what I wanted, what time I could devote to education, and the time I had for the actual 'doing' of lead gen, MLS searching, client meetings, etc. 

Nothing that can't be overcome, but REO's will usually take just a little bit longer - maybe 2 or 3 days more than a traditional search & underwrite. 

As the title describes, I am in search of an investor-friendly RE agent in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

These are confirmed by a VA appraiser though - some are more strict than others; but an experienced Realtor will inform a seller when they believe the home will not pass an appraisal.I would recommend getting pre-approved for a standard VA; trying to find a VA construction loan and searching for an ugly buy safe, sound, sanitary multi-family while you do that.

You should search for a lender that will fund both acquisition and renovation on the property.
