HOME at LAST also offers FREEVA Home Loan counseling through an agreement with the New York State Department of Veteran Services (DVS).

Buying a home for the first time can be an overwhelming process filled with new terminology and very specific requirements. Luckily, when you’re a service member or veteran, you can take advantage of your military housing benefits (Basic Allowance for Housing, or BAH) and apply for a VA loan.

If you meet the requirements for a home loan backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, you could get a mortgage with better terms, and without making a down payment.

 

HOME at LAST strives to make this process easier for YOU, taking the headache out of the experience, and helping you and your family feel more confident in your home buying, home selling, and/or refinancing decisions.
