Transition period, getting close to crunch time

[Devin Harris]

Hello, My name is Devin. So here's the deal, I'm about to transition out of the service, I intend to jump into my first rental property upon moving. I am currently looking at a duplex/4-Plex as my first investment. I am qualified for a home loan through the VA already for 250. This dilemma is that I don't get out of the military until July of 2018, but I am wondering should I purchase a duplex in my next location NOW, (the unit is already occupied with tenants) and move in when I get there? Or should I wait until it gets closer to July and then move. Help!!
