I'd suggest hiring an attorney that specializes in property law and not tackling it yourself, but the process as a whole is quite simple.

I'm not sure of others on this forum, but off late I have explored some MOOCS such as Udemy for Real Estate education and found the "How to Analyze Multifamily Investment Opportunities" by Simon He  "phenomenal" for the price the course was offered ($9.99 a course when those specials are around and they always do).

Find a realtor who specializes in investment.

There are brokers (I specialize in them) who can handle 1-4 unit rental property loans.

Two more that are working in daycares and weren't sure what was going to happen today-- the governor today announced that daycares would be permitted to operate on a limited basis with a special pandemic license and procedures.

I'm not sure if there is a special form that you need to fill out. 

There urine is horrible and saturates subflooring where you will need special remediation if it’s bad.  

Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney who specializes in real estate investing and go over exactly what it is that you want to do. 

I haven't heard it put like that before and the right firm sounds like it could be a powerful relationship.VA loan sounds like a special hammer in the corner of the woodshop- it's really effective and works great for the people that have used it before but everyone else isn't sure what to make of it.

Every realtor I've ever dealt with, including those that claim to specialize in buying and selling, has been OK with this and doesn't just say NO to rentals.
