Congrats on your pre-approval and your plan to make Florida your primary residence while leveraging house hacking or short-term rentals (STRs).

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

VA loans are for primary residences only.

Due to the popularity and scarcity of these properties in Nashville, it would be difficult to find a property meeting the STR requirements given a proposed purchase price of ~$300-350k.Additionally, your situation is a bit unique as it sounds like you may be living away from your primary residence more often than not, and as such, I also recommend you confirm with a lender whether this situation would qualify for this type of (primary residence) loan.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Since you are right out of residency with a good job and not married and no family, you are in a unique spot because you have flexibility right.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Quote from @Alan Asriants: Here is a note I found from Fannie mae: ADUs are not eligible with a 2-4 unit dwelling, or when a manufactured home is the primary residence.

That was a great move for our family what a place to live in the 90s..
