I personally know this landlord and have had sit-down conversations with him periodically over the last few years. 

Looking to connect with any investors and real estate agents in Scranton, PA.

Happy to connect and chat. 

@Mark C.You are in the beginning stages and want to do everything yourself that can only last for so long.  

Lastly my expectation is not for the VA to be an acquisition specialist and get the property under contract, however I would like for them to be able to gather as much information as possible (motivation, timeline, condition, asking price) and work on not being robotic on the phones.

I just bought a home in San Antonio Texas last October after living in Utah for 30 years.

If you contact the utility companies they will probably give you the average usage over the last 12 months.

I invest in Tampa area and have a LTR  and about to buy a house in next 3 months as primary and then after a year convert to STRAnyone here have a connection who will do  short term JV ?

Brian, I did get a list through my realtor and agreed in all cases to fix everything with the exception of the last issue (chimney).

I hope you realize now, after reading some of the other responses (except the last one) how ridiculous the question is.
