@Jason Chen I've never read his biography, but I'd be surprised if his cancer diagnosis did not humble him in some way. 

I don't want to ruin relationships because of money/business.

I heard that it has to be your first property and that sense it is my first home I ever buy it would technically be considered my primary residence if I were to buy it right now and rent it out until I get back to the States (if I were to buy a multi-family property and wanted to live in one of the units so I can house hack).I have called the VA multiple times and I have gotten both answers so I am not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do because I do not want to ruin my chances of using this if I use it inappropriately.

Buckle upDo you think a virus that is bad and is dangerous and deadly is worth the collateral damage of ruining the world economy?

It is for a charity my wife and I started called The Cancer Kickers Soccer Club.  

@Lisa Wright Very true, many friendships have been ruined by bad business dealings.

Even if there's a small chance of getting caught, I'm not going to risk 18 months in the clink plus big fines and having my loan called plus ruining my creditworthiness just for a lower rate personally, but I'm not a gambling man. 

@John Thedford If the paint is ruined so badly that I am forced to paint again within 2 years, can be considered beyond normal wear or tear?

It's like opening a stand selling an "elixer cure for cancer", charging top dollar, and when they die and relatives come back pointing out the fine print of "do your due dilligence".Yes, DO do your due dilligence, but a scam is a scam, period.

Life insurance also has protections for divorce, bankruptcy, and taxes while you are alive, and there are living benefits if you are to become disabled, or get cancer, or lose a limb.
