Hello fellow BP members! I am new to REI. I am looking to buy my first deal and wanted to know your opinions on this buy.

Duplex 3/2 on each side.

Priced at 264,000

Think I could rent it out somewhere around 2,200 a month

Looks like cosmetic fixes

Tried to do the calculator but I wasn't sure if I entered everything correctly.

I will be using a VA loan. No money down.

If someone could just help me analyze this deal please.

I think it would be better for me to rent both units out and pay rent somewhere else that is cheaper. I know I am suppose to be owner occupied with a VA loan but I don't think they really come knocking on my door asking if I live there or not. I could be wrong though.
