With rent prices expected to rise 10-16% in 2022, there's never been a better time to leverage your BAH and your VA home loan. If you don’t, you are literally throwing away your money! Don’t be like the Jones’, a family we had assisted with getting into homeownership after spending six years on base, and use your benefits later rather than sooner. This type of thought process can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. They had spent over $240,000+ of tax-free BAH, during this time frame, while homes appreciated over $250,000+ within that 6 year period. This family’s net worth should be half a million more than what it is right now, however, fear of the unknown and lack of information caused them to rent for longer than they should have. Your military BAH is designed to support the local cost of living wherever you are stationed. Don’t throw your money away or give it back to Uncle Sam after everything you are already doing for this country. Your VA loan should be utilized as a wealth-building tool that can create a future you never thought possible. Here is a short testimonial from the family we just liberated from on-base housing: "What awesome realtor to have in your corner, working hard and dedicated like Deven Ortiz and his team. My name is Jesse and I'm a military active member. My family and I lived in military housing for over 6 years and during that time we gave over $240,000+ dollars towards military housing. So you can imagine how happy we were to finally put our military benefits to use in a beautiful home while under a highly motivated, go-getter like Deven Ortiz. Our family is greatly blessed and appreciative to you for helping us get into our dream home. Thank you!" - Jones Family
