Living in my investment

Hello all, I'm looking to purchase a home to live in in Gainesville, FL. I plan on living in it for a period of 3-4 years, and selling for profit . I know what I'm currently looking for:

-built in equity at purchase

-needing cosmetic upgrades is fine $10-15k ( no structural work) hvac upgrade is fine

-since my family will be living their the location must be family friendly

-because I'm using my VA loan it has to meet requirements to qualify

My question is, what other criteria must I consider/communicate to my agent to maximize this as an investment, but meet the needs of my family.
