Buying

Edward, a former Marine infantry officer, was told during his basic officer training in Quantico: “Be worldwide deployable on day one. Don’t show up to a unit and tell your CO you’ll need some more time to find housing, or that you’re still unpacking your bags.” As if buying a home isn’t stressful enough as is, the additional stresses and demands of a PCS can make it very difficult.

Our program seeks to minimize that stress as much as possible, while still providing you with the highest quality service.

The VA Loan

You are probably aware of the VA loan program, but many do not understand all of the benefits or know how to apply. The process can be simple if you’re guided through it, which is exactly what we do. To find out if you qualify call Paul Lehman at 703-994-0979 or email him at Paul.Lehman@fitzgeraldfinancial.net.

Highlights Include:

►No Money Down – Did you know that 90 percent of VA loans come with no down payment? Join the millions who have purchased a home with no money down.

►Lower Monthly Payments – Since VA loans are protected by the government, mortgage insurance is not required, which means lower payments for you.

►Easier, Faster Qualification – The VA guaranty provides security to lenders by protecting them from loss, making it much easier for you to qualify.

If the VA loan is not the best option for you, we will help you find the best loan from other available options including: Conventional, Jumbo, FHA and Renovation/Construction financing.
