I would research and find good companies that provide the rental services you are seeking. 

I’m a wholesaler In Texas that Is wanting to expand services to out of state wholesale transactions.

I’ve thought about RE agent, or trying to find an entry level job in mortgage lending, or even workIng for someone doing rehabs and/or buy & hold would be awesome as this is what I aim to do as an investor myself.

It makes me nervous with some of these services that rely on the tenant to input the data (which you do not have an opportunity to verify). 

My recomendation is get a full service PM, if you are making this decision, Im not sure what you are paying a PM for, you should be able to find a decent PM in that market for 7-9% and never have to review an application, to me  if you are doing the screening, what are you paying for? 

All of the numbers I was using were "lender estimates" which I understand generally aim for erring higher rather than lower.

If so how much do you guys aim for since you can't purchase value add type properties the VA loan?

Purchase price plus rehab is aimed to cost no more than 70-75% of ARV (based on sold comps)."

AIM: FLIP to start and build up additional liquidIty with a long term focus on the BRRRR strategy and generating sustainable cashflow through multI-family properties.

I aim to begin this journey by investing in small multi family units in the Savannah Georgia area.
