We would love to participate.

Hey everyone, Bare with me for this long story...

In a volatile flippers market I'd look for markets that are good both for flipping and BRRRR (as exist strategy in case the market goes down in the time between buy and sell).Bare in mind that different classes may mean different locations.

Then you will know the bare bones minimum, 

In this very bare market, multiple homes are going for over asking and over appraisal price. 

With the average single family home in Vancouver now well over $1M, I'm wondering how to source equity contributors or partners to come up with that kind of capital, or how average investors are even participating in the market beyond 1 purchase?

This way they are prepared for the opportunity mentally and will be more likely to participate in your deal.Hope this helps,Jason 

Does anyone know of any lenders that participate in the VA renovation home loan program?

Still, you should participate in the auction (or at least show up).

I am not sure where you are at from a knowledge standpoint, so I'll assume the bare bones for the sake of completeness.
