I’m looking to buy my first house with my VA loan in a few months. I’m an E-4 with no dependents and only debt is a vehicle loan. I figure I’m not going to get approved for a whole lot, but that’s fine since I plan on turning it into a rental after a year.

    Do you guys have any advice that you wish you knew the first time you used the VA loan? Or any tips in general? Thanks in advance!

    Edit: I am receiving BAH just for clarification

    1. Buy less house than you can afford. Have a minimum of 10% to put down to reduce the monthly payments and the VA fee. House hack with roommates. Don’t get in trouble and lose stripes. BAH goes down and your budget is screwed.
