I also got a lot of Realtor referrals from their clients who couldn’t sell their homes and decided to rent.

I find many of my clients like that I also invest in all market segments, SFR(mostly), raw land, airbnb, small MF. 

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

Also, he thought me the value of not doing dual agency or buying properties from my clients. 90% of lawsuits in this county are from Real Estate.

The more I study real estate, the more I feel that my architecture degree isn't helping me much, I'm not being taught to sell, negotiate, read/understand contracts, understand clients or anything much beyond the actual design of architecture. 

The VA loan can be a great tool for someone starting out on their first purchase but there are some unique factors that have to be taken into consideration. 

There are a couple sections of the neighborhood I recommend my clients stay away from (unless they get a solid discount), but overall its good.

Each deal is unique unto itself.  

Right now you end up with most posts in the top-level forums, even though the question often requires (after much digging into the details) unique local knowledge to answer it.

I know it is possible but have never been involved in one with my clients.
