The VA home loan program has very flexible credit standards when it comes to Veterans with a foreclosure or short sale. A foreclosure or short sale is not the end of the world, and the truth is that within only two years a Veteran can become a home owner again.Buy a Home Two Years after ForeclosureWhile most other loan programs require wait periods ranging from 3 years to as many as 7 years for post foreclosure financing, along with a significant down payment, a Veteran with full VA Loan Entitlement can buy a home with no down payment only two years after a significant derogatory credit "event" like a foreclosure, short sale, or even a bankruptcy. There are a few things the Veteran should be aware of if they intend to buy a home soon losing a home. Is their VA home loan entitlement stil...

The VA home loan is a fairly easy loan to close. It is of course important that several things are taken care of early in the loan process to make sure there are not surprises at the closing table, but that can be said about any loan program. So what is different about a VA home loan?What makes a VA Home Loan Unique in Orange County?There are the obvious benefits for the Veteran, including the ability to purchase a home with no down payment. In 2013 most of the country will allow zero down financing up to a maximum loan of $417,000. However, in areas like Orange County, CA, where the median home price is in the $540,000 range VA will allow 100% financing up to a purchase price of $668,750 (2013 VA home loan limit). There is no other loan program that will come close when it comes to 100...

When I received the “swing by to discuss listing our house” call, of course I was excited. Not only because 12 Silverbreeze is in one of the most prestigious tracts in Woodbridge, Irvine, (The Landings), but also because I have a lot of experience in listing and selling real estate in both Landing I and Landing II.    My sellers spent about $100K upgrading their back yard alone... and it's gorgeous. Need TWO stainless steel built-in BBQs? No problem. And the outside fridge & sink are stainless steel too. The rest of the outside area is just as appealing, for example, the outside fireplace, the brick, tile & slate hardscape, and the custom spa. Like Brazilian Cherry Wood flooring? How about top-of-the-line appliances in a beautifully upgraded kitchen? Or stunning custom Travertine stonew...
