My other solution would be to furnish the home and turn it into a midterm rental, if you have some reserves.

In addition if you plan to rent by the room after you move out, check zoning because that style of rental is sometimes called a "rooming house" and regulated differently and may not be allowed where your home is.

Bryan, with older VAs, the pricipal has been reduced so there can easily be enough bandwidth, newer VAs I beleive go up to something like 200+K, doesn't mean they use all of that to buy the first home under a VA, so there can be more to tap into, especially at today's prices.The best way to disclose, IMO, is to say that you may not be eligible for another VA loan, I wouldn't tell them they can't unless I looked at their entitlements and loan balances.I haven't done VAs for so,me years now, the amounts of the entitlements change with the median price of homes, I have never seen them come down, but I guess they could...later
