It's rare now but they are out there.

If you have a great broker and or commercial attorney or both then they are less likely to keep trying these tactics throughout the purchase process.It is RARE but sometimes you run across an amazing property ( I see them maybe 10% of the time looking at thousands a week nationally) and it is heavily marketed and receives tons of offers instantly.

I work very hard to make these guys as much $$$ as I can and rarely will I enter into dual representation on a transaction.

The properties will most likely need to be combined under 1 LLC if they are under 1 mortgage.  

Having a wholesaler that will work with a VA lender is rare as most of times it has to be HML or private money so I'd give that consideration but I would have thought that he/she could have seen this coming with a VA loan.
