Best VA Loan offers?

Hey guys! Coastie here.

I'm soon getting stationed somewhere I have lived before and I would not mind living there for the rest of my life. My contract will be ending there as well.

Anyways, I was thinking of using a VA loan to try to "househack" my way into home ownership with a VA loan rather than filling the pockets of a landlord. My mother who I've been taking care of said she would possibly move out there with me and split the price of the mortgage. All the homes I've been looking at are 3 bedrooms so I was also planning on renting out the third to someone at the unit I'm going to.

Does anyone here have any experience doing this? Did it work for you? What VA lenders would you recommend?
