There is no lack of affordable homes.

I doubt as a society we will ever solve the affordable housing problem our country faces, but there are certainly measures that can be taken to make housing more affordable.

I see a few abandoned nursing home type places in rural areas, and always think as I drive by, would a good repurpose of them being senior living, or veteran living, or just plain affordable housing living?

I think house hacking with a VA is still well worth it. 

Since you have flexibility with locations, you have your pick of cities that are growing, but also affordable.
