It seems more than appropriate that today - Memorial Day - I remind everyone of one of the best and longest-lasting veteran benefits available to those who have done the highest duty our country can ask of them - to protect us with their lives.
Since 1944 the VA home loan guaranty program has enabled young veterans the ability to buy a home with $0 down. This was originally conceived in recognition that young men and women serving in the military have not had the opportunity to establish a strong line of credit and gainful income while they have been on active duty. By allowing servicemen and women the opportunity to buy a home with low closing costs and no money down, millions of veterans have been able to purchase homes for their families that they otherwise could not.
In a time when we have seen veteran benefits be stripped down rather than strengthened, I am heartened to know that such a tremendous program still exists, and I am proud to say that I not only have family members who have benefited from this program, but I have had the privilege of putting several clients into a home through this program.
Thank you to our troops, and God bless America!
