3 unit row house in Baltimore...using VA loan

[Demetrius Goodwin]

Hello Everyone!

I have been away for a while....please forgive.

I am now in the process of looking at 3 unit row houses in Baltimore, MD. My plan is to live in one unit and rent out the other two. This will allow me to save money to fund my future investments and get me started started on the investment path. I am looking to use my VA loan to finance the property, but my lender is saying that my credit score needs to be higher in order for them to finance a multifamily......any advice?
