Stipulations concerning VA loans

[Justin Sellers]

I currently live in Las Vegas where I work from home and plan to leave within the next year. I am interested in using my VA loan to possibly obtain a multifamily unit. I have always rented, and never owned.

I work as a 1099 employee, so I was wondering what time frame I might need to be employed before getting a loan, and how long I would need to live in the area before being able to get a loan?  These are probably lender specific questions, so does anyone have any suggested lenders? - again unsure of which area I might be living.
