House-hacking and VA Loan

[Sara Hill]

Background: I am looking into using a VA loan to purchase a single-family home. I am hoping to help cover my mortgage with a couple roommates by using the house hacking strategy--not necessarily looking for any cash flow, just paying off part of it at least.

I am looking for any information, broad or specific, on how to use the house hacking strategy while using a VA loan. Is it allowed? Do I need to clear it with the VA? Extra paperwork I need to be aware of?

Any information would help! Thanks in advance!
