@Hamp Lee III is exactly on-target...VA loan guidelines do not allow the housing stipend you receive while utilizing the Post 9-11 GI Bill to be counted toward qualifying income for a VA loan.Conversely, if you receive VA disability compensation it can be counted as qualifying income, but of course you won't know that amount (if any) until after you separate.Are you looking to transition into a job that directly correlates/relates to your job in the Navy? 

Most were transitioning and staying less than a year.

It has easy access to most of the city via public transit (10-15 minute walk to light rail) and highway express lanes.

Other pockets of Houston that are slummy are transitioning, once you go EaDo and start moving south it's going to be the very last places for Houston to resurrect.

I remembered Donald Trump's advice about being the most prepared person in the room, so I focused on learning the seller's motivation and who the other decision-makers were in his family.By the end of our call, I found out that his dad was the real decision-maker and he wanted to transition to short-term rentals to build cash flow for his mom, but he wasn't ready to sell at the time.

Meeting are still online, but I'm sure that will transition back to in-person later this year. 

Hi, I'm trying to buy a home in Austin, TX, but transitioned to being self employed mid-2019 and can't find a lender to finance. 

The other option is to add a second layer of 3/4” t&g cdx ply on top of the subfloor if you have the ability to maintain critical heights with your subfloor (you can always undercut doors and use transition strips if needed).

If the answer is you have enough cash to get you through this transition and this money is truly available to invest I would personally consider looking for deals now and if the right opportunity came up go with an "all cash" purchase.

@Misook Foley, I see in your profile that you're wanting to make the transition from small rentals into commercial.
