Please feel free to reach out with stories, advice, or any tips in general, and I'm definitely open to meeting people as I begin to get into the world of rental properties.  

Any tips on getting started or resources I could look at?

Always be the winner, and bring your contractor before make an offer on the property, or have an hourly agreement for labor and hand them your credit card for materials.Best,

You can search for free until you get the list tweaked, then purchase with a credit card and download the list.

I have a good accountant already.Also looking for alternative financing.I can offer some very good tips on how to fix your own credit if anyone is interested.I am not a credit repair company.

Mine was a flip turn key property so with these new lower sales and the quicker relocation than I was expecting I would lose 15k just on sale price plus have to take a huge credit hit and lose my VA benefits.

I am going to assume you don't declare that income to the IRS on your tax return and pay the proper amount of taxes on it.If it is not on your last two years of tax returns,you will get no credit for it from the traditional banks and lenders which means you ability to borrow money will be based solely on what little you do declare and have taxed properly.Your savings and checking account s and stock holdings are irrelevant,only your verifiable monthly and yearly income.Your only choice would be a hard money lender at an enormous interest rate.
