Serving in the military comes with some perks. The VA home loan guarantee is one of the more popular benefits. It helps service members and veterans with home ownership. While it's generally talked about, sometimes the exact details aren't and can lead to not getting the most out of your benefit. In this episode, Dr. Paul Lawrence discusses VA home loans in detail. He shares how the benefit works, who is eligible, how it can be used, and common misconceptions about it. He also talks about lesser-known VA loan benefits like Specially Adapted Housing grants. https://milmo.co/podcast/VA-home-loan-guarantee

This show is about repaying a debt to veterans. We can't truly repay them for what they put on the line for our freedom, but we can help them with benefits.

Excellent podcast with my friends, business partners, and primary podcast sponsors Mike Cox and Brian Hofmann owners of MortgageNerds.com. We did a deep dive into the VA Home Loan, VA Construction Loan, VA Renovation Loan, Why Brokers Are Better, Asking the Right Questions, and so much more. Mike and Brian travel the state and educate veterans and service members on the VA Home Loan daily! They are at Fort McCoy monthly and we have built a healthy relationship with the CVSOs of Wisconsin. The VA Home Loan is super confusing and robust, the family at Mortgage Nerds is here to help you. This was a very fun and educational podcast.

We are in a market that is now topsy-turvy. We are part of the major movements in the economy of our country and there are benefits and challenges in the flow of economics and of buying a home. Today, we are going to talk about a group of people who have had some tough times buying in recent years. We're talking about our active-duty military and our veterans who use VA Loans to purchase a home. Working with VA borrowers right now could be just what your business needs.  Jimmy Vercellino is our guest today. He's going to educate us about these loans and he is going to show us how we can serve our veterans well in the homebuying process.   [3:01] Jimmy discusses his background. He served in the military and now helps veterans. [6:51] Jimmy, as a Marine veteran, shares a common language with the veteran and active-duty military homebuyers he serves. If you, a REALTOR®, speak that language, you can better serve that client and there's instant trust, differentiating you from competitors.  [9:41] Getting veterans to learn about the benefits of VA Loans is the most important thing. The military doesn't teach this. The VA doesn't advertise it. Mortgage loan originators don't understand it.   [11:22] A veteran can get 100% financing. VA loans today no longer have a cap, as long as the veteran qualifies by income and credit. In addition, there is no PMI (private mortgage insurance).  [13:00] A veteran can use more than one VA Guaranteed Loan at a time, as long as they have enough entitlement. These features can help a veteran create wealth through real estate.  [20:09] A mortgage originator who dabbles in VA Guaranteed Home Loans hasn't been properly trained. They don't understand the nuances of the VA Home Loan Benefit. You want to work with somebody who has an in-depth understanding of VA Home Loan Benefits. [23:15] The only time Jimmy doesn't recommend a veteran consider a VA Loan is when they're paying cash. He always wants veterans to have a VA Loan on the table as an option, so they can make an informed buying decision on what's best.    [24:46] Jimmy wants real estate pros to know that just because their client is putting 20% down does not mean they should use a conventional loan. Make sure that your client is getting all the options.    [26:28] On Jimmy's YouTube channel, linked at the end of these show notes, Jimmy interviewed a VA appraiser. A VA appraiser is not an employee of the VA. The appraiser said no appraiser should ever change the home value based on the loan type.  [34:24] Va Guaranteed Loans are assumable. There is a lot of confusion that exists in this space. Two things have to happen to get a VA Loan assumed. [40:13] Jimmy's philosophy on providing value to military homebuyers is to ask them if they know the benefits of a VA Guaranteed Home Loan, listing them one by one.    [42:00] If your questions have provided value to the military member or veteran, chances are they will answer yes.    [47:35] The way real estate agents get paid is changing. At the same time, under current law, the veteran is not allowed to pay the REALTOR®'s commission. It will take creativity to figure out win-win solutions.   [49:12] The Military Relocation Professional (MRP) Certification Course from NAR never expires. Jimmy Vercellino teaches the all-day course. Agents that have attended it felt like they were more equipped to speak the language of active-duty service members. Tweetables: “[The relief of hearing your language in a foreign land] is the same thing that exists for veterans and active-duty service members when they have a REALTOR® who speaks their language; somebody who understands BAH, BAS, COE, DD-214, EAS, all of these types of things.” — Jimmy Vercellino   “You don't want a mortgage originator who dabbles in VA Loans. … They haven't been properly trained and … we don't want to subject our buyers or veterans to somebody who doesn't understand the VA Home Loan Benefit and, could delay your on-time arrival.” — Jimmy Vercellino   “The only time I don't recommend a veteran consider a VA Loan is when they're putting down 100%.” — Jimmy Vercellino   “I tell my agents to be teachers; to bring the good word of VA Loans to veterans and active-duty military. As I said … VA doesn't teach it, mortgage lenders don't understand it, therefore, veterans don't know it.” — Jimmy Vercellino   Guest Links: Jimmy Vercellino VAloansforvets.com Jimmy Vercellino on YouTube Jimmy interviews Appraiser Jay Josephs on the VA Appraisal Process Jimmy Vercellino on LinkedIn Email Jimmy@VAloansforvets.com   NAR Resource Links NAR.realtor/technology   Additional Links: Microcourses found at Learning.REALTOR.

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, but at the age of 18, I made the decision to defend my country and leave home by enlisting. During my time in the Marine Corps, I traveled across the world visiting countries such as Japan, Korea, Thailand, Australia, and Singapore, and Fallujah, Iraq. I am a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom.   I met my beautiful wife Sylvia while stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, and we decided to relocate to Arizona in 2005 and get into the mortgage industry. I had a hard time transitioning from military to mortgage. I devoted myself to the Veteran and active-duty home buyers and their families here in the Phoenix area. I went all in, I started educating real estate professionals and veterans about how the VA Home Loan Benefit works. Today, I'm fortunate because I get to serve veterans all across this great nation. I lend in all 50 states. My mission was to serve all veterans and active-duty military as a trusted advisor for all their VA Home Loan financing needs. I have always had great love, respect, and admiration for veterans who have served the United States and I wanted to give back.   Now, I have risen as one of the country's top VA Home Loan mortgage originators. Being a licensed and certified instructor with the Arizona Department of Real Estate, I proudly teach continuing education for real estate professionals in the Valley. It is my passion to partner with servicemen and women every day to help them find the home of their dreams in the country they call home.   I now live in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, and enjoy spending time with my wife Sylvia, daughter Sylvia Ann, and son Christian.   VAloansforvets.com 602-908-5849

VA HOME LOAN Knowledge Transfer Podcast with the owners of Mortgage Nerds.  We all sat down and talked about why the VA HOME LOAN is the best benefit for Veterans and should not be disregarded. We talked about the current market and the federal interest rate hikes. The various types of Refinancing Home Equity Line Of Credit etc. We really dove deep on this. Do not let realtors tell you the VA Home Loan isn't good, that's BS. No down payment or PMI? Saving thousands of dollars. Contact mortgage nerds if you have any questions.  

John Bell, Executive. Director of the VA Home Loan Guaranty program, explains how veterans and their families can benefit from the VA Home Loan process. He points out that these loans have no down payment required, limited closing costs, competitive low interest rates, no private mortgage insurance requirement, no maximum loan amount for those with only one VA loan and many other benefits including those who have a VA rated disability are not required to pay the VA funding fee.

In this episode, Joe is joined by Scott Patterson, a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of Tumble. Scott served for 11 years in the Infantry before transitioning into the civilian sector. While staying with a friend in San Francisco, he became frustrated with the outdated and unreliable laundry set up in the apartment building and at his local laundromat. Scott shares with Joe how he entered the laundry industry and how Tumble is now in hundreds of buildings across multiple states. Check out Tumble here.      About Our Guest   Scott Patterson founded Tumble in 2019 with a mission to modernize the laundry experience. After serving 11 years in the United States Marine Corps, Patterson was trained to be diligent about his laundry. Upon leaving the marines, Patterson moved into a friend's apartment in San Francisco where he was shocked to see dirty laundry rooms with broken machines, stolen clothes and unreliable customer service.  Coalescing his extensive military training with his passion for technology as a means to improve quality of life, Tumble was born with the goal of modernizing this highly-desired amenity. Tumble first launched in San Francisco in 2021 and has since scaled across California, with plans to be in 200 cities and 25 major metros by June 2023.  Patterson's experience assembling highly-specialized teams has proven successful as he continues to identify and partner with experts in the field. As the organization's leader, his focus remains on product innovation, talent acquisition, partnership development and expansion efforts as the team continues to grow.  Prior to starting Tumble, Patterson was an innovation designer at Accenture, in San Francisco, where he honed his skills across research and development, design and emerging technology. During his time in the United States Marine Corps, Patterson served first as unit infantry leader, where he acted as a senior enlisted advisor to the platoon commander and maintained accountability of all personnel. While at that post, he was awarded two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals for superior performance. He later served as Operation Chief, where he consulted with the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, First Sergeant and Company Gunnery Sergeant and coordinated all company operations for 160 Marines with higher levels of leadership at the battalion level.   Join the conversation on Facebook!

Yet using it can feel too complicated, while how it works is often surrounded in rumor and misinformation. So what's the real deal?

VETERAN LENDING COUNCIL – NATIONWIDE SPECIAL FORCES TEAM Michael Fischer and Eric Ensley have developed a “special forces team” around the country that is focused on providing realtors, brokers and ultimately veterans with up-to-date knowledge of the wealth preserving and building benefit of a VA Home Loan. (20+) Veteran Lending Council | Facebook Michael Fischer and Eric Ensley, Veteran Lending CouncilExpert Benefits Panel from Legal Help for Veterans, Carol Ann Fausone and Washtenaw County Veterans Service Office, Executive Director Michael Smith.

The Veteran Lending Council is a community dedicated to educating lenders, brokers, real estate agents, and veterans about the VA Home Loan program. Michael Fischer and Eric Ensley talk with host Jim Fausone about the basics of the program, its advantages, and some of the myths.  

The VA Home Loan is arguably the most valuable benefit for veterans if used correctly. The standard method if getting into home ownership is proving harder and harder. The VA loan allows you to get into a home without paying 20% down or hundreds of dollars a month in PMI. The best part - the VA loan can be used to purchase a property with 1-4 units, giving you the opportunity to become a real estate investor with nearly no money out of your pocket. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/militarybottomline/support

Michael Hunter served 26 years in the US Army and just retired at the end of 2021. He now works as a Military Liaison for Aligned Education Foundation, a 501(c)3 that educates and supports active duty military, veterans, spouses and real estate agents in the VA home loan benefit.Though Mike initially intended to pursue a high-salary career, it was a conversation with someone about his top priorities that totally changed the course of his career. Once he and his wife discussed their personal priorities, discovering that money wasn't in either of their top 3 priorities, he changed direction. Taking the time to prepare, assess yourself and define your family's priorities ensures you won't feel as pressured to take the first job that is offered.Buying a home is just one more stressor that you may need to deal with during the military transition process and Mike is here to talk about how to better prepare for and navigate this process. He now works with Aligned Education Foundation, founded by veterans who had success in the mortgage industry, but decided to launch a non-profit that focuses on helping other veterans learn how to optimize their VA home loan benefits. The fact that almost 85% of veterans do not use the VA home loan benefit due to myths, misinformation and uninformed mortgage lenders and realtors. You can find information on the educational seminars and services that Aligned Education Foundation offers at https://alignededu.org. Mike offers some tips about preparing yourself financially for the transition process. Taking care of these steps give you the freedom to choose what you want instead of feeling forced to take “just a job.”- It is recommended that you save up to 6 months' worth of savings to cover your bills. - Remember there is often a delay between when your military paycheck ends and your pension or disability check starts.- Do everything you can to clear out your debt, especially revolving debt such as credit cards. - Carefully research the job market in the area where you want to live. - Do your research and look at all of your benefits and life insurance options. Take care of the life insurance process before you receive your disability designation, or you might find yourself uninsurable. Mike offers some home buying tips:- Find a realtor that you trust, that has your interest at heart. Ask for referrals from friends and family.- Find a veteran-friendly lender and get pre-approved. Pull your certificate of eligibility – Aligned Education Foundation can teach you to read this information. - Be advised, the VA has no credit score requirement. If you are declined, that is the lender's choice, not the VA. - Once you get the first quote, you have 10-15 days to gather competitive offers from other lenders. Shop around and make them work to earn your business, all the way through final approval, that gives you the best deal for you and your family. - Start the transition planning process early. Figure out what you want to do and where you want to live as soon as possible to ease this process.Connect with Michael Hunter at www.linkedin.com/in/michael-hunter-cpd/SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A FIVE-STAR REVIEW and share this to other veterans who might need help as they transition from the military!Connect with me on Facebook and LinkedIn!

First off, what are you doing?! Have you joined my daily email list where you get commentary on the ideas &  news of the day relevant to liberty, veterans, and entrepreneurship. Go To CashFlowVeteran.com, Download My Ebook, and Sign Up For A Daily Dose Of Awesome! ****************** So I'm going to be the guy that says it, and likely you'll think I'm crazy for saying it. The VA loan for home purchasing is a moral hazard… so is a FHA Loan I know what you're thinking, how can a normal person afford a house at these prices without saving 20% down… If the government tells you its good for you and provides a tax incentive, just assume that it can benefit you, but it's meant to benefit the lobbyists and industries that asked for the tax code to be written in a way. The banks make a killing off of separating you from your earned income. The government gets a run at your paycheck first, then your bank gets a run at your housing costs (whether you're renting or not) and makes money every month on mortgage payments but incentives you to become an owner (as many people as possible with programs and tax incentives), but many of those incentives you'll only see as adjusted taxes at the end of the year. Which when comparing yourself to the Jones next door that are renting….SEEMS like a great thing in comparison…but it's a false comparison because you're both getting screwed by the banks and the government that have incentivized spending/borrowing or saving/investing. YES, YOU HAVE AGENCY TO CHOOSE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND FIND A WAY THAT DOESN'T KEEP YOU IN THE TURMOIL OF DEBT but it will directly go against the incentives that have been laid out for you. Some may say that at least I'm gaining equity, but remember you are relying ON A MANIPULATED market to determine this unless you are willingly running the numbers as an investor, making a solid plan, and accepting the understood & unknowable RISK. Just like your retirement and your medical benefits as a veteran or retiree…. YOU DON”T CONTROL THAT STREAM of income NOR the benefits you are allowed to get But because you thought it would be there…. YOU sacrificed good decisions yesterday for the promises they gave you for tomorrow…..and the question is, how well do you think the government holds its financial promises? ************* CFV Links: Website: https://cashflowveteran.com/ -- Join My Daily Email List Facebook: @CashFlowVeteran Twitter: @CashFlowVeteran Youtube: Cash Flow Veteran ************* Affiliate Links To Support The Show https://cashflowveteran.com/marketingdna -- Perry Marshall's Marketing DNA Test/Index https://cashflowveteran.com/libertyclassroom -- Tom Woods' Liberty Classroom Affiliate Disclosure: I earn an income when you click and buy through these links.
