Housing Assistance for Veterans

There are many veterans out there looking for a place to call their own. After renting and moving around while they served our country, they now want stability and a home to grow some roots in. These veterans are entitled to many VA Loan benefits to buy their home. This process, which should be fun and exciting can become a headache and cause many veterans to stop trying to buy. This is not right at all because buying a home should be the most exciting time in their life. Having the right team behind you can not only make it easy, but fun and exciting as it should be.

The V.E.T. Program (Veteran Education and Transitional Program) has put together a team of professionals that can help veterans and their families from the start of the process to beyond closing. Our Veteran Housing Committee is comprised of mortgage professionals, real estate professionals, title professionals and appraisal professionals, all here with the goal to help veterans get into the home of their dreams. Some members of the committee have the designation from the National Association of Realtors as Military Relocation Professionals, which means they have been taught how to handle the home buying process and have much experience with the VA loan process.   Home ownership is something you should understand as it is one of the biggest purchases of your life, and one of the most important. Many companies prey on military, charge upfront fees and sometimes convince them other loan products are better for them. These other loan products usually are better for the person offering, since they get paid more on them. Our committee will walk you through exactly what you will be responsible for regarding fees, the appraisal process, and insurance and so on. The Realtors will make sure you are seeing the houses you want in the price range you are approved for, and The V.E.T. Program Housing Committee is here for you, the veteran, to assist you and answer all of your questions.  For more information about The V.E.T. Program or the Housing Committee, please e-mail us at info@thevetprogram.org or call 248-757-8829.
