I had found some regulations about VA guidelines and it speaks about recent separations and states that anyone who has recently seperated and doesn't have the needed 2 years job security can still be processed but underwrites will use their best judgement and will have flexibility.

I’m in the process of opening an LLC to get things started and exploring the best approach to enter the market.
