First Time Home Buyer - Looking for some advice

[Nicholas Pritzl]

Hello BiggerPockets Community, 

I recently got home from a deployment and am looking to invest in a property either single family and multifamily in the Milwaukee, WI area and have already gone through the pre-approval process for a VA loan. I'm running into a decision road block for either a multi family to house hack and update one unit at a time or a single family that needs upgrades.

I am looking for some advice on if a VA loan is the right avenue to purchase or if there is a different alternative via FHA, conventional, 203k, etc. I have a pretty decent sum of money saved and ready to invest I'm just more or less on where to start.

Let me know what you think the best option would be. Thanks for your time

Nick
