If NWI is an option, I know several agents that also invest. 

It is definitely possible to use the BRRRR strategy when using a VA loan but as  @Bryan O. mentioned (awesome response) there are several things to consider.

Been working with several investors on flipping houses in the Houston/Dickinson Area where flooding was bad durring Harvey.

After asking for advice from some family that has done this type of work in the past and learning several different methods online i was ready to tackle the what seemed impossible tub remodel.I'm not going to bore you with all the little things that i learned that need to be done but i ended up going with the cement backerboard method.

Aside from that, my reasons for choosing Charlotte were that :It has a strong economy with a variety of industries & a growing tech sceneThe avg rent-to-income in Charlotte is around 27%, which makes it pretty affordable for tenantsThe rent to home price ratio was relatively high (2% rule, though it looks like it may need to be more of a 1% rule, as with other places)It's generally safe, with crime trending downward over the last 10 yrsNet inbound migration was highHome appreciation was up, but not ridiculously so like some other markets (like my home state in CO)It's near to several other potentially attractive markets if Charlotte _didn't_ work out for us, like Raleigh, Nashville.All these factors lead me to believe Charlotte is going to be a good place to acquire buy & hold rental properties and try my hand at a new business.

I know of several other folks as well.
