[12]
okay thanks for stopping by this video
[15]
is for you the veterans I'm gonna show
[17]
you a couple things have changed in 2020
[19]
why you should be going for a veteran's
[22]
loan if you are veteran and if you stick
[24]
around I'm gonna show you a little known
[26]
secret on how you can keep a home after
[28]
you've already used your entitlement on
[30]
your first home and maybe keep that home
[32]
as well all that and more okay let's get
[35]
into it
[36]
just real quick I'm a veteran myself the
[38]
US Navy I'm also realtor so I do know a
[41]
thing or two about veterans loans I was
[43]
also a New York City firefighter and I'm
[46]
also a cop so I got to kind of cover
[48]
that whole military type thing going so
[51]
as a Realtor I know some some stuff
[53]
about and I'm here to share it with you
[56]
because if you're not taking advantage
[57]
of a VA loan at this point and you're a
[59]
veteran you're missing out okay let's
[61]
compare two VA loan compared to an FHA
[64]
or a conventional loan with a VA loan
[69]
noting down 0% and that's phenomenal
[73]
basically you don't have to pay PMI and
[77]
if you don't know what PMI is PMI is
[79]
private mortgage insurance if you put
[81]
less than 20% down on a conventional
[83]
loan you pay your PMI PMI is roughly
[86]
around 30 to 70 dollars per hundred
[90]
thousand that you that you take out give
[93]
or take so you can be looking at a
[95]
couple hundred dollars a month in PMI
[98]
until you get to 20% so veterans
[103]
conventional I think I stick with
[105]
veterans now you have FHA also three to
[109]
three-and-a-half percent down but you're
[111]
still gonna pay that PMI so I pay a
[114]
couple hundred dollars more a month so
[116]
Veterans is the way to go how do you
[118]
qualify as a veteran very simple are
[121]
will discharge or general discharge you
[124]
qualify less than honorable
[126]
unfortunately not going to get it okay
[128]
so you have the background to pass you
[131]
need a certificate
[132]
eligibility you need to find the very
[134]
first step is you need to find somebody
[135]
to deal with you go to your local bank
[137]
you can go to a mortgage broker my
[139]
personal experience and what I do is I
[141]
go to a mortgage broker I have some that
[143]
I work with that I really like
[144]
they're very trustworthy if you could
[147]
find one it's great this they'll shop
[149]
around get you the best rate a lot
[151]
easier to work with they do a lot of the
[153]
legwork for you when you work with a
[154]
bank it's a slower process sometimes
[156]
they're very strict and some of their
[158]
guidelines and it could be a pain to
[160]
deal with going through a mortgage
[161]
broker is my preferred way to do it but
[164]
you could do whatever you you want to do
[166]
ask around get some get some
[168]
recommendations can't go wrong with that
[170]
rates vary wildly compared to all the
[173]
different lenders so la can get a good
[175]
rate because they can make a lot of
[176]
money off you if you don't get the right
[178]
rate okay you find the perfect person
[181]
for you you find that mortgage broker or
[183]
the bank you start dealing with that
[184]
first step is you want to get a
[185]
pre-approval pre-qualifications mean
[188]
nothing get a pre-approval you get a
[190]
pre-approval you're golden okay you have
[193]
your pre-approved that gives you it
[195]
means to go out and find that perfect
[196]
home now if their realtor did their job
[199]
and they know what they're doing they're
[201]
gonna list that house back at the right
[202]
price they list that house at the right
[205]
price it's gonna go that day me
[207]
personally when I list the house I'll
[209]
list it just under market value and
[211]
there'll be a bidding war on that first
[213]
day the seller is greedy and they think
[216]
oh I mean let me put a 20 30 thousand
[217]
above price and see if somebody bites
[220]
nobody's gonna bite what's gonna happen
[222]
is they're gonna wait for it to come
[223]
down and you're gonna lose possible sell
[225]
if you price it at the right price it'll
[228]
be gone a day like I said you're sitting
[230]
around with a pre-approval letter you
[232]
find that house oh you make that offer
[235]
you're in the money you don't get that
[236]
pre-approval you get a pre-qualification
[239]
you're not gonna be able to bid on that
[241]
house if you can't bid on that house
[242]
you're gonna lose that house if it's
[244]
price right so you get that pre-approval
[246]
letter you're off and running
[247]
find a realtor that knows how to deal
[250]
with VA loans because there's a lot of
[252]
things later on that they need to be
[255]
aware of that'll help the process go
[258]
smoothly same thing with a lender find
[260]
one that knows that does to be a long
[261]
part of the pre-approval process have
[263]
you documents in order
[264]
get your UNLV w-2s your bank statements
[267]
for probably two to three months pay
[269]
stubs any other sources of income it
[272]
taxes for the last two years your Social
[274]
Security card your driver's license get
[276]
it already
[277]
copies ready boom check it out you have
[279]
an electronic format sent over to the
[282]
broker you're good to go
[283]
or the bank it will speed things up
[285]
greatly now you know me
[286]
now you know price that you can work in
[289]
you need to know not just do a mortgage
[292]
calculation let's say if this house is
[293]
two hundred thousand dollars I'm gonna
[296]
pay $1,300 a month of that it's not
[299]
right because they're gonna have to pay
[302]
the mortgage the insurance the taxes
[306]
it's all in one payment and if you're
[309]
looking around you have an HOA to throw
[311]
that on top of it so now that's what
[313]
hundred becomes 1800 or 1900 or $2,000
[316]
know where you stand
[318]
know what you can afford when you go out
[320]
there and start looking Oh save a lot of
[322]
heartache for you and everyone else part
[325]
of the process in getting the va loan
[328]
how we need a copy of your dd-214 or
[332]
they could just electronically file for
[334]
it if you've been separated recently
[336]
it's a little easier a little faster
[338]
it's not a copy of your dd-214 it's all
[340]
done by that with that copy you'll get a
[342]
certificate of eligibility which will
[344]
allow you to get that VA loan and the
[346]
process starts if one thing is different
[349]
in a VA loan from other loans is there
[354]
is a VA funding fee now that you can't
[357]
get around you're gonna have to pay good
[360]
news is that could be put into the
[362]
mortgage VA funding fee works like this
[366]
if it's your first home
[368]
you used to be two point one five
[372]
percent in 2020 it went from two point
[374]
one five to two point three percent now
[378]
that's if it's your first home first VA
[380]
home if it's your second VA home it went
[384]
from three point three percent to three
[386]
point six percent but again this goes
[389]
into the loan so you'd off the pay out
[392]
of pocket wants to pay out of pocket pay
[394]
it off over thirty years why pay for it
[396]
upfront
[396]
kind of credit score do you need to
[399]
apply for that VA loan only 620 620 or
[403]
above you're good to go
[405]
pretty much I mean they look at the
[407]
whole credit picture they look at if
[410]
you're paying alimony if you're getting
[412]
child support I mean they look at every
[414]
plus and minus so basically with that
[420]
credit picture if you're sitting around
[421]
620 and up you're good to go you could
[423]
even get approved 550 and up but you're
[426]
gonna pay a higher rate so talk to your
[429]
broker talk to your bank you'll figure
[431]
that stuff out but VA is pretty lenient
[434]
on this in this area I'm pretty good if
[437]
you're a disabled veteran or you've
[438]
received the Purple Heart your funding
[441]
fee will be waived now the VA loan
[443]
limits used to be a 180 $4,300 and went
[447]
up to about 510 and change this just
[450]
recently but you can actually go above
[452]
that you can go you can go above five
[454]
hundred thousand dollars but you're
[456]
gonna have to pay a certain percentage
[458]
above that if you're married you can
[460]
apply for VA loan put your wife on the
[462]
loan if you want she has additional
[464]
income you want to bring that in no
[466]
problem engaged or if you have a living
[472]
domestic partner for the last six years
[474]
it's not gonna work you need to either
[478]
be married or you're your spouse has to
[483]
be a veteran themselves so veteran plus
[486]
veteran you're good to go
[488]
veteran Plus legally married spouse
[491]
you're good to go any other way you're
[493]
not going to kill one thing you will
[496]
need to know in a veteran's loan and
[498]
make sure your Realtor knows that if
[499]
they do if they're not used to dealing
[500]
with VA loans you have to get that
[502]
termite inspection it could be also
[504]
listed as a wdl wood destroying organism
[511]
you get that what you have to have and
[514]
it's cheap it's like $45 additional to
[516]
the inspection get it done you have to
[519]
get it done or it's gonna hold you back
[520]
make sure that gets done you don't want
[522]
to get hit with it the last few days of
[525]
your right before closing and they say
[527]
where is this oh boy next thing you know
[531]
your closings been pushed back one thing
[534]
that slows you down with a veteran's
[535]
long is their appraisal process a little
[541]
bit different at a conventional
[542]
conventional loan the VA pulls from a
[546]
pool of appraisers they'll go out and
[550]
appraise your house and my experience
[552]
this is usually this can usually take a
[554]
week longer beaker so longer than
[556]
getting a standard appraisal done no big
[560]
deal just that's what I'm saying make
[562]
sure you're working with somebody that
[564]
knows VA loans so it gets ordered right
[566]
away try not to make a big purchase
[568]
priority alone whether you go with VA or
[571]
anything they kind of frown on that I've
[574]
done it myself I've actually had a $600
[576]
car payment prior to buying the house
[579]
that I'm in now and what I did was I
[583]
leased another car to try to get my
[585]
price down so I figured I would be
[587]
approved for more they didn't really
[588]
like that too much so the golden rule is
[591]
no big purchases prior to closing just
[595]
hold off on that on your credit cards
[598]
this will help you credit immensely try
[601]
to keep your debt the ratio below like
[605]
10% so if you have a thousand dollar
[610]
credit limit on the card try to keep it
[611]
below $100 a month that'll really help
[614]
you credit out and it helps the numbers
[617]
too and your debt to income ratio and
[619]
all that really helps you that pretty
[622]
much covers most of the ins and outs of
[626]
a VA loan you have any questions at all
[628]
post below I'll probably answer it
[630]

[668]

[670]

[672]
so more to come and then have a lot more
[675]
fun won't be as boring as this one have
[678]
a little bit of an imagination so stick
[681]
stick around you'll see Oh almost forgot
[683]
my little secret that didn't tell you
[685]
okay say you used your veterans loan on
[690]
a home now a lot of people think that
[692]
you could take that you have to get rid
[694]
of that home so you could buy another
[696]
home you owe $300,000 on your house now
[700]
you can't use that full entitlement on
[703]
another home va loan but I'll put money
[705]
down so how do you how do you work
[708]
around that there's also one additional
[710]
issue before I get to that you can't do
[712]
a simultaneous closed you can't sell
[713]
your house and buy another house with a
[716]
VA loan of a simultaneous closed meaning
[718]
the same day so it's gonna because it
[720]
takes at best four days to get a
[725]
clearance to get your eligibility back
[727]
so those four days you're gonna pile all
[730]
your stuff in your house all your junk
[732]
everything that's in that garage
[733]
you're gonna pile it into a pot or
[736]
something or storage or a friend's house
[738]
and you're gonna live in your on your
[740]
friend's couch for a few days a week at
[744]
least and hoping that your next clothes
[746]
ego's on time how can you get around
[749]
that or how about keeping your house and
[754]
renting it out that's one option how do
[757]
you do that
[757]
without using up your VA entitlement
[762]
refinance your home your current home
[765]
refinance a conventional if you can if
[768]
you have equity in there refinance it
[771]
maybe pull a little money out write that
[773]
home out now you're good to go you have
[775]
a hundred
[775]
sent entitlement on your new house to
[778]
use whatever you want you VA loan and
[780]
you still have your addition your
[781]
original property that's one way or
[785]
refinance it get your new home rent it
[789]
out a little bit then sell it if you
[791]
want there's a couple ways to work
[792]
around that but it's a lot more
[794]
convenient than living on a couch and
[798]
having all your stuff in a pod something
[801]
to think about
[802]
it may work or may not hopefully we'll
[805]
see you again soon because a lot more
[807]
videos coming your way good luck
[808]
