How can I use my property to finance a second property?

[Brann Perz]

My wife and I purchased a single family home just 2 weeks ago. We bought our home for its value and received no equity. Also, we're in the military, so the VA Loan gave us 0% down. My question is, how can we utilize our current property to help finance a second property? We want to up the game and house hack a multi family property.
