Best Way For Military Veterans To Start Investing In Real Estate
Veterans, You Can You Buy A House For 0% Down!
First of all, thank you for your service! I always have a ton of respect for the men and women who choose to put on the uniform for our country.
As gratitude, Uncle Sam provides a number of benefits to service members. The one that we are talking about today is the zero down payment option for buying a home. It is the benefit that helped me start my real estate investing career with a technique called "house hacking".
Do I Qualify For A VA Loan?
There are a number of ways to qualify for the VA loan. Typically, there is some kind of active-duty service minimum. Members of the National Guard or Army Reserves also have a path to get this loan. Even if you were discharged from the military, you might be able to qualify.
Any Tips For Using the VA Loan?
- Make sure you work with a Realtor who is familiar with VA loan requirements and restrictions
- Ensure you are closing with a title company that has experience with the VA loan
- If you CAN put down a down payment, consider doing so
- Increase your credit score as high as possible before house shopping
- Remember, this has to be for your primary residence = you will personally be living here
