Having a VA loan will be a big win but as Hamp mentioned you want to know your exit strategy so if the current Multi Family market is not good SFH's are always a quality option and understanding the areas and the appreciating neighborhoods you can put yourself in a quality position.In terms of quality of the house definitely play it a bit safe to start especially since you will need to live in the property.

If you win you will need to pursue and pay for title insurance.Local PMs can be a good reference to help with a drive by or walk by.  

They still get paid from the transaction so it's a win win.

It's a win-win as it is just one more non-cookie cutter tool I can offer to help people grow their portfolio without being hampered by expensive and too often punitive management contracts when not needed. 

It can be a win-win-win situation.

Thank you win advance!

This is why many are into pre-foreclosures, when you can get a property 30-50% value you are going to win all day. 

This is a win, and just like anything else in life random things happen and you have to deal with them. 

I am interested in having a long term investment, I may be breaking even or have a slight loss depending on the rent but I consider having an asset paid off a win.

Win-win.
