I am hoping to do an MBA (i.e I’d move) in about a year and a half, but found an amazing opportunity to buy a home in my city. Is it dumb to use VA home loan to buy this only to *possibly* move in the near future? Can I use the loan again if I sell?

I’ve done this with 3 homes. You can use your VA entitlement over and over. There’s no funding fee if you have a disability rating.
Alternatively, you can refinance into a conventional loan and use the benefit on the second property, turning the former into an investment property. The property value appreciation may even help push you past PMI. Interest rates should continue to go down.

Yes you can use it again, you just have to have entitlement left (sell the first house or have enough room left to get the second one without maxing).

the funding fee increases when u use it again

but generally it’s recommended to keep real estate 5 to 7+ years before selling so try to make sure it’s a good rental if u plan on moving

Hi Ive been looking into using the VA for homebuying but I wasnt aware of any benefits or differences for being a disabled vet. Can you elaborate on that?

There’s a VA funding fee exemption if you’re over 10% disability

so every single major dip the last 4 months have been magnified by the use of leverage. If btc drops “naturally” by 5%, but liquidations are in the billions (which they have been), then that 5% drop turns into 15%. Over leveraged apes are literally screwing it up for all of us more than just themselves. Frustrating but also somewhat positive news that onchain analytics, fundamentals, and general TA are still in play. We’ll see what happens because I don’t think these levered traders will stop
