Has anyone heard of "investors" or builders who would finance a home to flip (with an intent to sell agreement) with a buyer who has a VA approved loan amount? 

As veterans you can probably use your VA benefits to buy a house but that's more on an individual basis as opposed to doing stuff collectively.

Hi everyone, my name is Nick and I'm excited to join BP. I'm a strength coach/personal trainer by trade, but I really want to get started with real estate investing! I'm only a year out of college, so most of my quest...

Whether to wait and use my VA loan wherever I go next?

There is no financing contingency to Buyer’s obligation to close .The other option which is not checked for my contract is:(b) This Contract is contingent upon Buyer obtaining a written loan commitment for a conventional FHA VA or other ______________ (describe) loan on the following terms within _______ (if left blank, then 30) days after Effective Date ("Loan Commitment Date") for (CHECK ONE): fixed, adjustable, fixed or adjustable rate loan in the Loan Amount (See Paragraph 2(c)), at an initial interest rate not to exceed _______ % (if left blank, then prevailing rate based upon Buyer’s creditworthiness), and for a term of _______(if left blank, then 30) years ("Financing").My wife says to just walk away as it has become too complicated and I somewhat agree.  

Keep in  mind that many of the vets who qualify for this HUD VASH program are single folks (most of the ones who participate at the VA I work seem to fall in this category) and thus would qualify for just a one bedroom unit.I only mention this because this might work out if you are a  landlord with one bedroom units available in the first place.Gail

My GF and I are in the market for a potential house hack, 2-4 BR property in VA (ideally northern VA / woodbridge area) but we seem to have run into a problem....I don't think we are going to get approved for any type of (conventional?)

Most of Maryland, DC and Virginia have tax rates around 1% of the property value.  

Here's how I do it....I work short sales (as the agent/broker) with an attorney partner, in Maryland and Virginia.
