VA Loan multi-family investing in Lawton, OK.

[Edward Zachary Samperio]

I am currently an Active Duty service member and am very interested in using my VA loan to buy a 2-3 unit multi-family property. I live in single soldier off-post housing, I am 3 years in, and have about 2 years left in service. My original goal was to begin investing in San Antonio Texas after I leave the military, but I have a few questions about Lawton because I am considering starting here.

1. Is Lawton a good place to start investing? (I am okay with receiving a smaller return because it is more important for me to build momentum rather than get everything perfect).

2. Am I even eligible to use my VA loan since I am not married?

3. Would it be wiser to wait 2 years to invest in San Antonio?

If anyone has any experience in investing in Lawton Oklahoma, I would appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you.
