Are you married? I just closed a deal in oceanside for a military couple so basically I need a little more info to answer this question. VA loans may/may not have clauses if you have already gotten orders. I need more info....

You could be qualified for VA.

Easier if you bought it, lived in it and got transferred overseas. Interest rates are higher for non-owner occupied homes. Being a landlord can have many problems, but long-distance is more problematical. With good credit, you should be able to get a loan, although you may have to check around. I'd start with USAA for referrrals. And beware of these scammers/spammers!!


estielmo
What you want to do is be a property speculator and absentee landlord. Instead, use the 6 years to save as much money as possible and work at getting and maintaining a perfect credit score.

You'd have to qualify just like anyone else. Income, existing debt, credit history, etc. One advantage is that you could go for a VA loan.


justwannagetahead
depends on your salary but I think you can get a VA loan though


Dawni Do Right
I'm sure you could if your income, etc. qualifies for a NOO (non owner occupied) program, but probably not through VA, as the home will need to be your primary residence. Do you have a spouse here that would live in it until your return?

Please take care - there are scammers on Y!A who actively seek out questions like yours and then offer loans but are scammers

Here are some tips for determining whether a loan is legitimate or a scam:
1) They don't use a free email address (yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc)
2) They have a secure website you can go to to fill out their application (and no excuses about it being down at the moment)
3) They don't require ANY fees upfront (regardless of whatever excuse they use). Any fees will come out of proceeds of the loan (scammers want their fees via Western Union or Moneygram)
4) They have a REAL address (check it in the yellow pages) you can send mail to
5) They have a REAL phone number, not a cell phone

Often if you click on their profile you will find it is created in the last 24 hours - why? Because they are reported, profile closed down, but they simply create a new profile and start up again

Save yourself another headache and avoid them like the plague. The one from Charles Luggard above my post is a prime example of what I mean.... do not go anywhere near it.

Yes purchase as an investment and rent it.


Expert Realtor
No, you cannot.

You can purchase a home as an investment property, but not as a primary residence, unless you actually live in the home.

VA loans are ONLY for primary residences...not investment.

I personally, wouldn't buy a home that I had to worry about for 5 to 7 years.
