Use VA now for single family or wait.
Hello everyone name's Richard. I'm currently renting and rent is being raised. My plan was finish my last 2 yrs of college then use my VA loan on a multi-family to house hack I have a wife and two daughters so don't want to house hack a single family. On the other hand I'll be on the area for 2yrs so was wondering if it's worth paying 150-200$ more for a single family home now with the VA rather then wait as mentioned above. Thoughts? Be brutality honest I can take it. Oh I'm also in Grand Forks ND Thank you

Multifamily is your best route with VA loans, your monthly payments become so high it becomes impossible to cash flow with a single family.
