I had a client recently who was able to do a conventional new home loan, while renting out the current home. He had excellent credit, over 30% equity in the current home, and a leasee willing to pay first, last, and a deposit well in advance of the closing/moving in.

Since this goes a bit beyond just plugging in numbers on a mortgage calculator, I would suggest you find a financial institution that is qualified to give VA backed loans and discuss what you would like to do with a loan officer there. Many factors go into qualifiying for a mortgage, including your credit score, your debt-to-income ratio, and interest rate of the loan.
Your lending institution loan officer should be able to answer any questions in this regard, and also pre-qualfiy you for a mortgage before you start shopping for your new home.
