The VA lender handbook adds more than 60days may be considered reasonable if both the following conditions are met:1. theveteran certifies that he or she will personally occupy the property as his orher home at a specific date after loan closing, and2. thereis a particular future event that will make it possible for the veteran topersonally occupy the property as his or her home on a specific future date.Can anyone vouch that tenants in place on prior leases and  "a particular future event" being the date in which their lease ends would meet these criteria?

My bigger concern is whether she can actually afford the rent long-term, or if any "unexpected" event from here on out will put her further behind.
