He told me that given that I was still fairly new to investing (5 years) that I should consider the benefits of having the extra cash on hand either for emergencies or for future down payments on additional properties.

A 2-4 unit is going to cash flow much better after you depart, which will help you qualify for properties in the future. 

Given your plans to use VA loans for multiple properties, it’s important to consider a few key factors when deciding on your next purchase.Since you’re already using a VA loan for the 2300 sqft home, it’s understandable to think about the size of your future properties.

I will certainly keep all these nuggets for future transactions.

I explained that I would like to see them searching for new housing however if it came down to them needing an extra month we could discuss that as an option in the future, although it wouldnt be establishing a new tenancy.

I want to understand and avoid them in the future.

Definitely no Inland Empire (Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley) at this time, maybe in the future at later deals.

But I'll save your info and reach out for futures moves.
