I find that you can get private lenders or Joint Ventures easily and scale using those connections 

The hurdles I have seen so far is finding a lender that will fund the build and in my situation a builder the lender approves and is VA approved as well.

Or even attempt to find opportunities in other states, contacting a local real estate agent to look around.
