Not only do I want to express my sincere appreciation for this recognition to all my clients- past and present, I want to quickly share my "why". I decided to get my real estate license in 2013 as we were on military orders (again) to DC (again) coming from OCONUS-Germany (again). Both PCS's to the National Capital Region were the most the stressful moves we made during Ken's 20 year military career. I knew there had to be a better way, someone to help guide other military families with real talk and grounded expectations, someone to HELP them, someone from their extended military family who walked the walk. I'm not in the sales business, I'm in the business of helping people- and with 500+ transactions under my belt- I wouldn't have it any other way. I truly LOVE my job!Read moreRead less

✨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.
