First Property - House Hacking Strategy

[Caroline Knight]

Hey everyone!

I am moving to the Chicago area in June and want to use this opportunity to start my real estate investment journey! My plan is to buy a small multifamily property and househack. I am fortunate enough to have access to the VA loan and have a bit of reserves saved up for anything cosmetic needed or wanted before moving in and renting out any of the units but not enough for a substantial rehab. Has anyone else started out this way? Id love to hear anyone else's experience using a VA Loan for a small multifamily property (2-3 units) and any tips on what to avoid or make sure to do!
