Ep 19: How to Use the $0 Down VA Home Loan to Build a Real Estate Portfolio

June 22, 2023 • Season 2 • Episode 19

In this episode we cover everything you need to know about the zero down payment VA home loan including what it's used for, gotchas you need to be watching for and how you can use it to kick off building a real estate portfolio. We share a case study of our client who used his VA benefit to help build a portfolio of 3 properties (with 5 units total) by the age of 32. We also share about how a current service member used her VA loan benefit to get into a home with zero down and have her mortgage payment covered by her BAH (military housing allowance).

If you are a current or former service member and have questions about how the VA loan works or what your eligibility status is, don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to help! https://theladdercast.com/
