Between Las Vegas, Ft Worth, Tuscon, or Oklahoma City? I want to either BRRR or househack a multiplex

@shaun 

@Shaun Futch thank you very much! this helps a lot. I have decided (after studying a bit more and from the pre deployment readiness) that I will not do a fixer upper; however I a most likely start with a VA for my situation and overall recommendations. I will make sure that I will still be able to use it at my next location though. I am looking for deals now and running the numbers to make sure I get a good ROI.

any other recommendations along the way I appreciate. thanks again all!

Thank you everyone. After studying a bit more of my area and the potential I am 100% committed. my biggest question is VA loan or FHA? I hear differing opinions on this part. I would like to do some repairs on whatever I buy. Will VA loan allow this (ie buy a property for 50k, put another 40k into work, buy equipment/furniture for 20k = 110k total).

In about 1 year I will be moving and buying another property. Some say do FHA now then do VA loan on second property.

Others say you can do VA loan on both.

okay thank you all!

It is February 2019 and I am deploying in July for six months. I will then be moving to a new base in May of 2020.

So I have 6 months in South Carolina (where I am looking to buy), then deploy for 6 months, then come back for 6 months and then move.

I want to house-hack and rent it out when I move, but I am stuck. Being a new, younger investor, should I:

1) buy now before I deploy?

2) buy after my deployment (having saved up for a large down payment)?

3) buy once I move to a new location so I have more time and stability in that house?

Looking at a multi-family or SFH. I plan to use VA or conventional loan.

Thanks a lot!
