The realtor I'm working with says there most likely squatters in the house (junker cars in the yard, black plastic on the window on the bedroom side, one window is open = lack of power/lack of a/c).I'm still willing to buy to fix up and flip, for the right price, assuming I can either be assured of the property is vacant, or there is a low-cost, efficient eviction process in Columbus, GA.I appreciate any advice from people with experience on evicting squatters in GA.

Find the folks that are motivated to bail out.

Once you have built this rapport, ask them why they are selling, and figure out what their motivation is. 

I am just very motivated to get started and want to make a move.  

You have to be self motivated, no one will drop the business in your lap.

You will refinance out of a VA, use you One Time Restoration and it will renew your eligibility allowing you to buy another VA 1-4 unit for 0 down and killer VA rates.As far as being Denied, the requirement may come up that you need a Motivation letter explaining why you chose to move which is as easy as saying you found a home more suited to work, family, location, opportunities etc.

Not asking for anything in return outside of knowledge and willing to help out as trade to have the opportunity to learn everything there is to know about syndicating deals and how to operate as efficiently as possible.I'm local to Chicago and have investments in Traverse City Michigan and will be closing on 4 duplexes in Milwaukee next month. 

Negotiated $75k under asking price because it has just fallen out of escrow and they were motivated to sell.

The agent is willing to work with me because the seller is very motivated to sell.
