Good Evening Active and Retired Servicemen and Women!

I am looking to hear as many stories as I can of vets using their VA Home loan benefit upon leaving the military. I am transitioning in about a year and would like to get some insight on the process, how easy/difficult it is, etc.

Jonathan Jaime Velarde the process is painless but there are some minimum extra fees but no down payment. I have used it twice and the second time the fee is a little higher I believe around 4500 which you can roll into your loan. No problem at all with the VA inspection either which can be a hassle if your looking at a fixer upper. They mainly look for safety issues so if it is average house you should be okay. Good luck and enjoy your last year of service.
