Is the place inhabitable?

I've always found the worst people always end up inhabiting the ends of the spectrum.

As I transition to the civilian life I would like to utilize my VA home loan to start my real estate journey.

VA loans are available for multi-family buildings as long as one occupant inhabits each unit.

Lender asks you about the property, spell it out on the phone before you apply.DSCR is not going to approve a property that is not inhabitable at closing, for this you need another type of lender.A teaser rate definition is an Adjustable Rate loan that starts low the first year then increases according to the note.This is a fixed rate loan.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong but after reading several articles it’s my understanding that normally when a civilian assumes a VA mortgage the “VA entitlement” will remain with the seller meaning purchasing power in the future will be less since it’s still tied into the current loan and the 1 year occupancy is foregone since the seller has lived in it over a year. 

After a year or 2 of inhabiting the property, refi and use that capital from the refi to purchase your next project.  

Since you live in one side of the duplex you may be able to be more selective about the character of the tenant(s) that inhabit the other unit.

The apartment is inhabitable, just no water/toilet access.Luckily, the permit was issued by late Monday afternoon. 

There is a legal doctrine known as "adverse possession" by which trespassers who openly inhabit and improve a piece of property that is otherwise abandoned may gain title to that property after some specific conditions are met.
