About the Book

In 1944, Congress enacted the GI Bill to thank the men and women who served in the armed forces for their hard work and dedication. One of the most valuable benefits included in the bill was the VA Loan. But bureaucracy and stringent procedures have made applying and qualifying for these loans complicated and unwieldy. Your Guide to VA Loans is the first book to guide veterans through the process. Readers will discover how to determine whether VA loans are right for them, how to apply, and how to deal with common problems that arise. Mortgage expert and author David Reed has more than 30 years of experience helping buyers navigate complicated loan processes. Here he offers advice on topics such as: Selecting the right VA lender Finding an agent in a town where there are few veterans Getting the best interest rate Refinancing VA loans Getting advice on VA loans while on active duty Complete with a guide to regional resource centers, sample loan applications, payment tables and a glossary of terms, this seminal guide will help all veterans fully enjoy the benefits they need and so richly deserve.

Review :
"Any honorably discharged veteran who wants to become a homeowner should read YOUR GUIDE TO VA LOANS." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "At a time when American servicemen and women are risking their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, they deserve all the help they can get. And after battling overseas, the last thing they need is to return home and have to wage another fight against the red tape of the VA. To that end, author David Reed has set out to ensure that at least VA loans are easier to access, and in many ways his no-nonsense book looks certain to become a useful resource." -- Los Angeles Times "David Reed is a mortgage broker who is clearly on the side of the borrower rather than the actual lenders." -- Robert J. Bruss, real estate columnist "In a casual and down-to-earth tone, Reed demystifies the intricacies of applying for a VA loan and takes the reader through each step necessary to qualify for and receive one...Any veteran, active duty soldier or spouse thinking of purchasing a home will find YOUR GUIDE TO VA LOANS a good investment." -- Army Magazine "Though the topic of mortgages is dry and can make one's head spin, Reed manages to keep the reader engaged by keeping simple and somewhat conversational." --Newsday "Any honorably discharged veteran who wants to become a homeowner should read YOUR GUIDE TO VA LOANS." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "At a time when American servicemen and women are risking their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, they deserve all the help they can get.
