House hacking - VA vs Conventional Loan

[Account Closed]

Hi all!

I'm curious about the difference between VA loan and conventional loan when it comes to house hacking in a 3 or 4 plex. I'm more interested in the actual act of borrowing, not so much the numbers involved with it.

I've read that lenders take a bit longer with multi-family than SFH, as well as with VA loans vs conventional, although I'm sure this varies lender to lender.

For those who have gone down the 3 or 4 plex route with a VA loan:

-Did you have any lending difficulties due to it being a multifamily? 

-What made you go with VA loan over conventional loan?

-If you were to do it again, would you choose VA or conventional?

Thanks in advance, I'd really appreciate any feedback!
