VA Mortgages Made Easy
I don’t often talk about about, but I am a combat veteran. I am one of the lucky ones that got to spend a year of my life living in the desert in Afghanistan. I cherish all my days in the Army, particularly the time I got to spend overseas. What those experiences have added to my life can not be put into words. I truly believe that I am a better person for it.
One of the big benefits that us veterans recieve is the home loan guaranty issued by the VA. The program guarantees a portion of the loan amount, which allows eligible veterans and active service members to purchase affordable housing, with little or no money down, even with imperfect credit.
When I came home I wanted to buy a house and I found that many people did not understand the VA Mortgage Benefit. Even the banks that offered the loans did not understand how to process them correctly. I ended up doing a lot of research on my own and worked with a broker that was willing to learn and listen. (My leg work must have impressed the broker because after I closed on my loan he gave me my first job in the mortgage industry)
Now that I have been around VA loans for a while and understand the mortgage process I am in a position to help other veterans get through the VA Mortgage Maze. That is why I’ve started writing VA Mortgages Made Easy. I’ve designed the site to help veterans understand and obtain their VA mortgage entitlement.
