VA LOANS: Making Homes for the Brave Achievable

November is the month we honor our US military veterans on Veterans Day (November 11th). In honor of Veterans Day, this month we’d like to take a moment to discuss VA loans.

What Are VA Loans?

VA home loans provide a pathway for service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses who have served our nation to become homeowners. VA loans can help qualified service members & veterans buy, build, or renovate a new purchase.

Even if you’re not a US military service member, there are benefits of the VA loan program you should be aware of: With interest rates on the rise, civilians might be interested in knowing that it’s possible to assume an existing VA loan with its original, lower interest rate. (Military sellers should know in these cases that their VA loan benefits will stay tied to the home, however).

Flotilla's Military Resource Page

At Flotilla, we believe so strongly in the opportunity that the VA loan program affords that we built a page at MILITARY.FLOTILLAREALTY.COM that gathers multiple VA loan resources into a single website—with helpful videos from Flotilla’s TJ Courtney and Movement Mortgage’s Jason Stier.



If you’re a military buyer or seller, our page is a great place to get answers to frequently asked questions about the VA loan process, government forms you’ll need collected all in one place, and interactive tools such as a Basic Housing Allowance calculator.

If you’re a REALTOR® looking to learn more about the VA loan program, it’s a great page to grow your knowledge—and you owe it to your military clients to be knowledgeable on the subject!

At Flotilla, we’re happy to partner with agents & lenders who are military veterans themselves, and other industry professionals who hold certifications such as NAR’s Military Relocation Professional certification.

Our veterans sacrifice so much in service of our nation, and real estate industry professionals can honor & thank them by ensuring they have the best information about VA loans in guiding their military clients toward the American dream of home ownership.
