PCS Move Coming Up? Should You Rent or Sell Your Home? A PCS move brings big decisions—one of the biggest is what to do with your home. Should you rent it out for long-term investment potential, or sell and move forward with financial flexibility? Renting might be a good option if: You plan to return to the area in the future. The market isn’t ideal for selling right now. You want to build equity while someone else covers your mortgage. Selling could be the right move if: You prefer a clean financial break. Managing a rental from a distance feels overwhelming. You want immediate access to your home’s equity for your next purchase or investment. Every situation is different, and a real estate professional can help you navigate your options based on market trends and your long-term goals.

✨Using VA Loan Benefits for a Second Home✨

Generally, VA Loans are intended for primary residences. However, there are scenarios where military families can leverage their VA Loan benefits to purchase a second home. For instance, if a service member is relocated due to a permanent change of station (PCS) and chooses to retain their first home, they might be eligible to use the remaining VA Loan entitlement to finance a second property.

✨Limitations of the VA Loan✨

It’s essential to be aware of the limitations of the VA Loan. For one, the loan must be used for properties that will serve as your primary residence. Therefore, using a VA Loan strictly for investment properties can be challenging. Additionally, there are limits to how much you can borrow without a down payment, which varies based on the county loan limit and your remaining entitlement. Always check with the latest VA regulations on VA.gov for up-to-date information.
