Internet search?

I decided instead to save the $ and create organized systems that help alleviate some of the more tedious work that comes along with managing the properties myself. 

@Andrew Kerr Yeah, sounds awesome, thanks for the heads up, did a search online.

I'm not a mortgage broker, nor do I play one on TV - search the forums for previous threads on VA loan and see if anybody's name continually pops up with useful advice then reach out to them.Continuing my assumptions, let's say you find a duplex in your area for $300k. 

I have been searching online, but can’t find any law or regulation that explains this.

Search the forums to find some mortgage brokers in your area and reach out to a few to start learning about the whole process. 

I have been searching trulia, zillow, and realtor.com for a few months now looking for a multi-family house that I can live in and rent out for my first investment property.

That has not worked and I've lost out on a few homes I was very interested in because the agent either didn't get back to me in time, or didn't know the area well to offer solid advice, or didn't want to put in much of an effort other than to send my some automated search result (which I often had already). 

Unfortunately me not being from MA makes this search even more difficult but I guess i'll be giving the city a nice drive as I did for worcester! 

Good evening BP, I have searched all through the wholesale forums, along with the "flipping contracts" discussion topic and put together an 8 step plan to wholesale contracts while Driving for Dollars, from what I learned.
