The house has 3 Adult roommates that have been there 12 years .

I also liked the layout for roommates.

The apt sits empty, all the other roommates returned home as well but we still have to pay rent until July.

I am interested in Single & multi-family properties to owner occupy at my current duty station with roommates, and then rent once I move on to the next duty station.I am unsure of how to get started with the right financing process (VA loan, hard lender, heloc, etc.), finding a great property manager once I move to the opposite side of the country, and go about refinancing so I can purchase a property at my next duty station and repeat the process.

My roommate and I were looking to sublease off PSU students for the summer while we took classes there.

If the other roommates feel unsafe (is he foaming at the mouth, carrying a revolver?)

But, I also vaguely remember wanting to have my own space and yard, since my wife and I moved out of a 4 family when he bought our first home.With a house-hack you will have a roommate. 

If I sell it (or rent it, for that matter) I'll be either sharing rent with a roommate or live for free with a family member.

They're called roommates.
