We have one rental in Jacksonville FL and are waiting on the Rental assistance program to kick in for our tenant who hasn't paid her rent in about 5 months.  

Get a pro membership to BiggerPockets, which allows advertising in BP Marketplace.

For my VA clients, I always call the listing agent to discuss the program and make sure they are educated.

Also has a really good api which I use for automatically programming door locks and stuff like that.  

Some programs will allow you to refinance based off purchase price + documented repairs but the sure fire way to get the maximum amount of cash out is to wait the full 6 months. 

I know some have training programs etc but is there a huge advantage working for CBRE or Marcus & Millichap vs a successful boutique focusing its effort on a specific prop type in only a few cities?

No handle, just your name unless your in witness protection program. 

@Tucker Cummings  There has been a few pieces of inaccurate information so I want to clear those up.  1- It is true FHA has no limit on the number of properties you own, they do however have language that you cannot use the program to build a rental portfolio.

We are currently searching for a multi-family property to help the program grow.

I started off going through that program last year and it’s plentiful of information.
