Lease to own first property in Portland OR, and use VA loan

[Dave Lee]

Hello BP,

I am currently looking for a 2 or 1 Bed condo/home to lease to own in the Portland area. This will be my first property, and consequently I Plan to ultimately use my Veterans Affairs Loan that I received my eligibly letter for recently. I have some credit issues that i will be handling, in order use my VA loan, so i would like some advice on the possibility of a lease option first. I also would like to possibly house hack my first property being that I am single. I know the market is tough here, and being a Noob, i could be delusional about the lease option possibilities. But I have a solid income and I am single male so saving money and repairing my credit is more than attainable. So any advice would be awesome!
