Buy a duplex or save till next spring?

[Jonathan Bosse]

Im 30yo live in Indiana and am in a unique position. I make 90k a year and am looking to buy a duplex to "house hack", live in one unit and rent the other. Im in a position were i can live rent free for a while, could bank around $30k this time next year. The question is. Should i wait till this time next year or jump on a deal that just popped up? Im a military veteran so i want to use my VA loan to purchse the property with no money down. Save or invest asap?
