Using a VA loan to finance live in Property

[Cristian Garcia]

Im looking to purchase my first property using a VA loan in Central FLA, The plan is to live in for a year with my girlfriend and then use this property as a rental. Because I am new im not sure whether it would be better to purchase a SFH in a good neighborhood or multi unit property in a less favorable area renting out the second unit? And how do I know which is the best? Thank you for any advice on the subject.
