6 Tips for Veteran & Military Homebuyers
Owning your own home remains a crucial part of the American dream, but it isn't always easy. From growing debt problems to an ever-changing real estate market, there are plenty of potential roadblocks to homeownership. For veteran and military home buyers, there are some options well worth considering.
Our REALTORS® are proud to have helped countless veterans and active servicemen and women buy homes—in many cases, their first homes. We're grateful for the opportunity to help. If you're a veteran or military homebuyer, keep these tips in mind as you start the homebuying process.
- Know Your VA Loan Options
One of the biggest advantages active military and veterans have when purchasing a home is the ability to secure a VA loan. These home loans are backed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and are much more flexible than ordinary loans. In most cases, they cover 100 percent of a home's cost, require no down payment, and allow you to buy a home without having to pay for private mortgage insurance.

Buying a House | 9 Tips to Make Your New City Feel Like Home
Moving to a new city is an exciting time. A whole new place to explore, new friends to make, and new experiences to have. But it can also feel scary and a lot out of your comfort zone. Where will your new favorite pizza place be? Who will you go to yoga class with on Tuesday nights? It will take a little planning and a willingness to explore, but these tips will have your new city feeling like home in no time. Our REALTORS® are experts in the area and can help you to make the transition as simple as possible.
- Walk Around Town
Play tourist in your new city. Head downtown, pick a street and get lost. The best way to truly learn the ins and outs of a city is to explore it on foot. You might find places that you would love to visit (like that favorite new pizza place) but would ordinarily miss as you zoom past on your way to work. Grab your walking shoes and see what you can find.
