If you’re hosting holiday get-togethers this month, there are some key tips you need to know! 🎄 🎉 Swipe to get all the tips. It comes down to being prepared and being realistic about what you can do so you don’t overextend yourself. Remember, these times are for making memories. Not everything will go according to plan, and that’s ok! Whether this is your first time hosting in your new home, or you’re a seasoned homeowner, these tips will help you enjoy all of the holiday moments and create happy memories that will last a lifetime! 🥰 Like this post if you are a homeowner!

✨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.
