Post: First Time Home Buyer Using VA

Hello Everyone, I am finally in a position to make my first home purchase. My wife and I would like to utilize her VA loan benefits and purchase our first home. We plan to stay in the home for at least 10 years and are looking for any tips when working with lenders, real estate agents and potentially contractors in the Atlanta area. Any advice would be more than helpful for this is our very first time actually being ready to buy. Thanks in advance for taking the time to assist us. Be blessed!

Hello all, I want to start by saying thank you to everyone that's involved in this forum. OKAY, so I'm a veteran and would love to use my VA to purchase my first home. However, as noted in the topic, I would like to house Hack it. I wanted assistance I'm finding properties that I can utilize. I'm new to investing and have just finished The Book on Rental Property by Brandon Turner. I'm also reading a few more books offered by the Bigger Pockets boon store. So, my question is how to find these properties and is it a good time to buy? I currently have been renting in the Norcross area but I work in Roswell. I've improved my credit score to the upper 680s. My issue is my lease is up in October so I want to put in the work early. Sorry for the long message but I really need help. Also, I'm not opposed to working with real estate agents and have a nice savings to cover closing cost if necessary. Any assistance would be great and much appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your service and enlightenment!
