Having said all that, I have since developed a relationship with a commercial lender that I game plan with before I purchase into a situation like this.

Good morning, I hope all is well.For the last 5 years I have worked as a real estate agent helping investors purchase profitable investments.I personally have flipped a couple of properties but really want to pursue my passion in developing individual residential homes.I hope I can connect with more investors in the south Florida area.

People are pouring money into commercial real estate development because it's so "safe."

In light of this, if one develops a good relationship with an attorney.  

Hello Everybody,My name is Danielle and I'm interested in developing and joining together a real estate investing group to strategically purchase and renovate homes for rental or resale.Great!!

Work as a CPA for a pharmaceutical developer. 

Adding to the appeal of the area is the development of Silverdale which has added a new shopping center that features Forever 21, Total Wines & More, & Chipotle; and renovating older shopping centers that have brought in notable stores like H&M and already hosting Kohl's, Macy's, and Barnes & Nobles.

That said, you still have to qualify for VA payment wise and would probably need a "normal" income stream for at least two years until you develop an income tax history.

They operate a great team over there.The CPA is a client of mine who specializes in working with local business owners for developing tax strategies and may be a great fit.
