Your Next Steps: Q&A
Choosing the right time to buy is a big decision. Here are the common questions we address in every session:
1. How do I start the process? The first step is education. Attend a workshop or schedule your initial counseling session to establish your goals and review your eligibility.
2. What if I don’t have a down payment? One of the greatest benefits of the VA Home Loan is the ability to purchase with 0% down. We show you exactly how to qualify and what closing costs to expect.
3. Can I use my BAH toward a mortgage? Yes! We teach you how to leverage your Basic Allowance for Housing to build equity in a home rather than paying a landlord.
4. Is my credit score high enough? Don’t let a number stop you. We provide tips for navigating the real estate industry’s requirements and helping you get “mortgage ready”.
