I have never bought a house.

I am a veteran and want to use my VA loan to house hack a 4 unit, just curios if there is a market for it. 

It makes it difficult to do simple maintenance, repairs, cleaning, etc.If you don't have a ton of reserves, I always think it's a good rule of thumb to have between 4-6 months mortgage in savings as you're trying to figure out a rhythm.

@Mikhail EgeDoes Alex live in the house he's renting for 4k per month?

Simply put, it will not last for over a month.Therefore, IF I want this property, I cannot wait for my current rental to sell, get the funds in the 1031 Exchange’s escrow, and THEN pursue this house, as it will certainly be gone. 

Just like the rest of the house, the roof is also shifting and settling in... if they made the roof "tight" then yes you are going to have some places where corners might break or things happen. 

We do not know where our passions lie at this time but am looking for ways to invest and love the idea of house flipping and STR, but honestly so open and excited to learn about it all. 

Hi TimothyGiven you have 2 years of job/income history, house hacking would be a great way to get started.

I'm currently house hacking (renting rooms) my current primary residence which is a single family home and has a mortgage.

I don't enjoy the tedious repair work associated with my own home so I felt it didn't make sense for me to drive myself mad with repairs on rentals as well.
