Beginner Active Duty Military VA Loan Investing

[Christopher Stafford]

I am looking into purchasing my first property to live at and am wondering what is the best way to start off real estate with the VA Loan? Would anyone recommend starting with single or multi family properties and why? Also, should I look for something that I can get some forced appreciation in the property and tie in the VA Rehab Loan? I'm assuming it has a lot to do with the market of my local area, however, I have a small barrier to start as the VA loan requires no money down.
