House Hacking with VA Loan

Jose Jimenez
Posted

Good day everyone! I am currently planning on buying a second primarily house using a VA Loan this time. I want to buy a house that's bigger than what I need to rent out the extra rooms. Can you please share pros and cons with using a VA Loan for this purpose if you have any experience? Please share how it turned out or some peculiar things I need to watch out for in your opinion.

@Jose Jimenez I'm not sure there are many downsides, other than dealing with roommates. I'm renting two bedrooms out of my 4/3 residence right now. One is a long-term roommate, and one is a short-term rental. It has been good for me!
