For the latter your best bet is a local/community/regional bank.  

If you’re looking to take a more passive role in your real estate and want the benefits of diversification there are funds available to accredited investors that are designed to allow investors the opportunity for ownership of institutional investment grade property that is occupied by regional, national, and Fortune 500 credited companies. 

The VA will guarantee (insure) you loans up to a certain amount for the region or State, can't remember..Ours is like 452k so my one house was 199k and the other 250k. and I'll either rent this out and seitch my next home loan to conventional or FHA.

There are several big well known names (CBRE, Marcus & Millichap, etc) but very quickly you are dealing with agencies that are regional / local.

You have to make sure TI is not amortized and leases are way above market per sq ft from the developer.If it is mom and pop tenants or regional then a 6.5 is way overpriced.

For people living in the coastal regions (Seattle, LA, Bay, East Coast) where rent to value ratios are under 0.75% It is one of the biggest mistakes to purchase your home.

Or perhaps a regional bank.  

Does anyone know of any good local lenders, credit unions, regional banks that may have less restrictive underwriting requirements that would entertain such a conversation now that I have 1 profitable asset under my belt and a pretty good W2 salary to personally guarantee it?

I was able to get the attention of a person I admire with 23 years of experience and is at the top 5% of their region and set up a lunch. 

Hi Joe,The actual closing rate on these, that I have seen, is somewhere around 50% (this could be regional, idk).
