Lenders who specialize with VA loans

[Mike Hoherchak]

I'm looking at purchasing a small multifamily (2plex, 3plex or 4plex) as an owner occupied using a VA loan. I know every lender is different but I was curious to know what are the requirements in order to qualify. I understand one of them is 2 years of income. I just started a new job with a rather long unemployment gap. Would the rent roll help with overcoming that hurdle? Or does it stop me in my tracks? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
