I am a veteran and want to use my VA loan to house hack a 4 unit, just curios if there is a market for it. 

@Mikhail EgeDoes Alex live in the house he's renting for 4k per month?

Simply put, it will not last for over a month.Therefore, IF I want this property, I cannot wait for my current rental to sell, get the funds in the 1031 Exchange’s escrow, and THEN pursue this house, as it will certainly be gone. 

Then we found an electrician that focused on older houses. 

get more micro. we define a zip code as a market. there are about 7 zip codes in the city of columbus that we work in as well as about 15 in Miami. we look at the average housing unit delivered and try to develop under the median and average home or condo where there is a lot of absorption. that is mostly through smaller Floorplan design, smart floorplan design, etc. new construction and development you also have much more control over the overall development just my 2 cents. if you are just buying existing it's going to have some issues 

We do not know where our passions lie at this time but am looking for ways to invest and love the idea of house flipping and STR, but honestly so open and excited to learn about it all. 

Hi TimothyGiven you have 2 years of job/income history, house hacking would be a great way to get started.

I'm currently house hacking (renting rooms) my current primary residence which is a single family home and has a mortgage.

I've seen a lot of our community members start out with third party, learn their systems, and then bring it in house when they own several hundred units.I would read the book Small Giants, by Bo Burlingham.
