Veteran, first time buying a house and using VA.
My husband and I are wanting to move to Tyler, Texas to be closer to my dad. We are currently renting and looking for a house. We have thought about buying an investment property and not sure if we should flip a house or buy a 3-4 rental. I guess we need advice and would love to talk to someone in Tyler. Thanks!

Welcome to BP.
If you intend to use a VA backed product, it must be for your primary residence. As a veteran, Navy Federal has decent investment product rates though you may look into.
VA would be perfect for house hacking, or just building equity.
