Hi Bigger Pocket Community,
My name is John and I heard of the BiggerPockets community from reading "The House Hacking Strategy" by Craig Curelop which was recommended to me by a close friend of mine and I want to quickly give a shoutout to @Craig Curelop since I know you are out there somewhere! This book was life changing and I now have goals which pertain to the topics on BiggerPockets. I am very excited to join this wonderful community of people who are hungry for real estate/house hacking knowledge! I am looking to buy my first house hack in the San Diego area and was hoping if there are anyone out there who are...
1. familiar with the VA loans
2. familiar with the San Diego area
I would be eager to connect with whoever is reading this (especially those in the San Diego Community)! If you gotten this far, I really appreciate you for taking your valuable time to read through this one of many introduction posts. Thank you so much! I look forward with the new connections on BiggerPockets!

@John Lee hit up @Donald E Appleberry too! He bought a million dollar triplex with the VA loan recently, and has helped 5-6 of my friends do the exact same thing!
I'm not an agent here - i invest out of state - but I'm more than happy to chat, and help you understand some of the intricacies to the VA loan, and house hacking in general.
Also, @Jon Lallande is an incredible California VA lender, and will absolutely be able to help you out with a loan at any amount here!
