Before choosing an agent, ask: ✅ Do they have experience with military relocations (PCS)? ✅ Are they knowledgeable about VA loans? ✅ Can they provide insights on military-friendly neighborhoods? Your next move deserves an expert who gets it! Read our latest blog to learn exactly what to look for in a military-savvy agent. 🔗

✨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.
