Common Questions

VA Loan & Military Buying FAQ

Do I qualify for a VA loan?

Most active-duty service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses qualify. I'll help you obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) as the first step.

Is there really zero down payment?

Yes! VA loans offer 100% financing with no down payment required. There's a VA funding fee, but it can be rolled into the loan or waived for disabled veterans.

Can I buy before I arrive at my new duty station?

Absolutely. We can do virtual tours, handle paperwork electronically, and have everything ready for your arrival. I do this regularly for PCS moves.

What areas near Lackland do you recommend?

It depends on your priorities — schools, commute time, budget. I'll give you personalized neighborhood recommendations based on what matters most to your family.
