Episode 19: The American Warrior Initiative Ensuring Your VA Loan Benefit

In this episode, we speak to Angela Allen. Angela is the daughter of one of the first 100 Navy SEALs, Howard Wesley Allen. Howard was a Navy Frogman in the Korean and Vietnam war. He also assisted with the Mercury Missions. After losing her father at a young age, Angela dedicated her life to volunteering and assisting Veterans however they needed. Listen to her unique story in this episode.

As well, we discuss VA Loans in great detail. This is an incredible benefit that goes unused by 94% of Veterans! The benefits of a VA Loan include:

100% financing

No monthly private mortgage insurance required

A limitation on buyer's closing costs

The loan is assumable, subject to VA approval of the assumer's credit

30 year, fixed loan with interest rates similar to FHA rates

Seller can pay up to 4% of the Veteran's closing costs and even pay down the buyer's debt to help lower their debt-to-income ratio

You can have less than perfect credit

Angela will share her story, discuss the American Warrior Initiative, and let us know all the updates regarding upcoming VA Loan program changes.
