VETERAN FRIENDLY
L E N D E R S

​​The  Commitment

2. Contribute to the Network with a "Pledge" to The Heroes Fund to support Military Families 
3. Promote Network participation in social media and other media platforms 
4. Promote responsible homeownership to Military/Veteran Families

​

Why the Program:

• Housing has become more difficult to obtain in some areas and especially for young Families. It is even more difficult for Transitioning Military to be able to purchase a home under traditional programs. The Va Benefit allows for Transitioning Military and Veterans to have the opportunity to compete in the market and have a better chance of achieving the dream of home ownership. 

Why the Veteran-Friendly Network:

• It is difficult for one individual to Navigate the learning process of researching and identifying all the information needed in order to make an informed decision. We feel that the process is most effective when collaborating with a team and working together within a region. One Agent working along can achieve some success but a team of Agents partnered with a successful Lender is more likely to help his/her clients better. Military Families will most definitely benefit the most by working with an Agent and Lender from the network.

What is the Flow:

1. Lenders are key players in the VA Home Buying Process. Lenders may be able to access resources that could help our Military/Veterans access additional State or Federal resources to improve the chances of approval. 
2. Lenders support the program with a sponsorship of $90/month Single county - $120/month multiple counties
3. Each county houses up to 3 lenders in medium size counties 
4. Lenders work with Veteran-Friendly Agents and Brokers within the county
