VA Loan for Multi-Family question

[Andrew Greaves]

Hello!

I know that the VA Loan requires the owner to occupy the unit purchased. This seems like a grey area to me as it does not specify whether or not the buyer must occupy until the loan is repaid or the property is sold. Does anyone have first-hand experience with this? If that is the case, it does not seem that the VA loan would be a great financing option for a first time buy and hold investor.

Thanks!
