Be honest when buying the home, is this somewhere you would be excited to book and stay?

You can buy the vacuum sets pretty cheap and there are a ton of videos online on how to do it.

Plenty of people use the VA loan to buy and rent out when they are stationed somewhere else.

One of the bedrooms on the ground level is currently my office, and I was considering keeping the desk, and buying a monitor & docking station.

@Tim DiMario- thanks and welcome ...I would recommend getting formally pre approved for a hypotehtical scenario with a lender ...This process will help get you organized / prepared and its free ...you will also learn a lot ....if you never  buy anything or dont buy anything for soem time - its  OK ...good luck

I am in the process of buying a venue with 15 cabins and was wondering if I decided to live there.

Also, do you even want to buy the rate down on a loan right now.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator you can use to analyze deals and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
