CONTACT A VA LOAN SPECIALIST:
In our previous blog post we explained how homeownership may not be as hard as you may think – especially if you are eligible for a VA Loan. We touched on a few benefits of VA Loans which include 100% financing as well as reduced closing costs. We also explained that current military personnel have an added benefit in that they already receive a monthly housing allowance to pay or subsidize their rent or mortgage payments.
Today HawaiiVALoans.com is introducing a new segment to our blog called “What Can Your Housing Allowance Buy?”. With this, we will feature a specific property for sale to give examples of how much buying power one would have by just using their monthly housing allowance to cover their mortgage expense (with no down payment).
