Hey Bola,The company my agent quoted is called Mutual Aid eXchange (MAX). 

https://www.housingwire.com/articles/49421-bill-eliminating-va-loan-cap-signed-into-lawThe Department of Veterans Affairs can now back loans that exceed the conforming loan limit, as a bill eliminating this cap was signed into law by President Donald Trump on Tuesday night.The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act allows homebuyers to borrow above the 2019 limit of $484,350 for most counties without any down payment.[...]The move comes after a decades-long fight for veterans to receive health care benefits for diseases related to Agent Orange exposure, according to military.com, which said the bill will “fast-track disability compensation” for as many as 90,000 affected former service members.In an earlier draft of the bill, the cost of these benefits were to be financed by raising VA loan fees 0.35% to 0.5% for non-disabled veterans, according to military.com.But trade groups like the National Association of Realtors lobbied against such an increase, and lawmakers opted to raise the loan cap as a way to raise funds to support benefits instead.Huge for the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland, DC, LA, San Diego, and other high cost areas of the country.

We don't know how many sectors are going to be hit hard (hospitals are laying healthcare workers off) and if you are relying on another job's income to cover your issues (like when the place doesn't have a tenant, when you underestimate costs, when someone trashes your place, you have a large dollar repair that is needed, you have to hire an attorney for an eviction or a lawsuit) instead of a healthy amount of cash or liquid assets; that could really rock your finances when a lay-off happens at the same time an expected one-time hit comes (those things above happen - and never at a good time).I wouldn't take on debt for additional real estate investment unless you had at least 6 months of your monthly expenses (all those debt payments) in the bank and don't touch it. 

Healthcare, banking, farming, and  manufacturing are our big industries.

So many new real estate investors contact companies like this because they drank the kool-aid that so many of these education companies and real estate schools have sold them and they really believe in the 100% financing scams.

I've reached out to a lot of recruiters at healthcare staffing agencies on LinkedIn and on their site haven't had much luck over the past year either.

I see Peoria has OSF Saint Francis Medical Center & colleges in the area.Is it safe to assume there are healthcare residents or College students seeking rentals in those areas?

We are now seniors on a fixed income and are losing a few thousand each year on the "great investment opportunity"  We drank the Kool aid.  

In the suburbs of CC there are service industry jobs, healthcare jobs, tons of warehouse and related jobs moving in.  

Due to health issues and the demands of my current job in healthcare I am ready to take this gig to the NEXT level!
