Understanding your VA loan benefit could save you money and potentially help you build long term wealth. Let's clear up some of the biggest VA loan myths.


Myth: “I need a huge down payment.”
​
​Fact: One of the biggest advantages of the VA loan is that you can buy a home with no down payment. That means you can keep your savings for other expenses.
​

​Myth: “You can only use the VA loan one time”

​Fact: You can use the VA loan more than once as long as you still have entitlements left. This is especially beneficial for those who want to build a real estate portfolio.
​
​Myth: “You can’t use your VA loan overseas”
​
​Fact: You can use your VA loan to buy a property stateside, or in any of the US territories (Guam, US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico)
​

There’s more to the VA loan than most people know, but before you start searching for properties in Puerto Rico at midnight, talk to a VA loan experienced real estate professional who understands your entitlement, knows your budget, and understands military life.
