Military service is often a lifelong commitment for both military personnel and their families, so the least Dad’s government can do is help them find affordable housing.
Because Veterans Day got me thinking about the military, today I’m going to talk about VA loans that started with the 1944 GI Bill.
To qualify for a VA loan, potential borrowers must meet minimum active duty requirements and agree to live in the home they purchased.
In addition, you need to get a certificate of eligibility for residency, find a loan because you can’t get a direct loan from the government, and find a house (which can be difficult in the current situation).
However, there are problems with VA mortgage loans:
Current estimates suggest there are more than 13,000 uninsured veterans in the United States.
While more needs to be done to help all veterans find affordable housing, VA loan programs can be a significant help to eligible military families.

I like that you talked about how VA loans don’t require a PMI, even if you’re down 20% or less. I was reading the newspaper while having lunch at work yesterday and I saw one article that talked about VA loans. It seems like a pretty useful type of loan, which is good to hear.
