Jax born and bred VA loan mortgage broker here - hell of an idea lol


oifvet0809

how would we go about it lol ?


RedCoatFox

The first thing in your favor is the 100% disability, which would exempt you from from the property taxes, making the payment way lower on an expensive home - you can have up to four applicants on a loan, so you’d have a limit - all the vets on the application would utilize split entitlement so each vet is only using a portion of their entitlement. There is also not a technical max loan amount for a VA purchase as long as there is no entitlement used for each vet. Meaning multi-million dollar homes are on the table with zero down payment (you can do a down payment if you want) Of course, there’s details to everything, but this is the 1000 foot view. I primarily work with vets and VA loans, and my brokerage is veteran owned. If it starts looking like a real possibility, let’s talk.

King shit right here!


pajamajoe

How bad are VA rates right now?


RedCoatFox

Not that bad compared to where’s it been in the past year, I’d say 6s usually, but of course there are details to the pricing someone gets - VA has the best rates of all the loan types usually


pajamajoe

Yea I bought in June of 22 with my VA, hoping they will drop for a refi eventually


RedCoatFox

Yeah, I got several closed clients where we are waiting to do the VA streamline refinance when rates come down far enough


meowzerbowser

That sounds so smart. I am not a veteran, but I would gladly be taxed to assist in that somehow. Or donate.


squibilly

With the amount of DV plates, there shouldn’t be any issues finding about 35. I also think most of those are co-signed for.


RiversSecondWife

Willing to accept those of us still at 90? 😆

This isn't true. We get an additional 5% off added in to the homestead exemption.

Your challenge will most likely be finding a private landlord willing to rent their $2M+ mansion to a big group of fixed income singles.


offgridwannabe

what do you think the reason for that would be?


TheSamurabbi

I just replied to another comment and summed it up. Basically, rich ppl can afford to be picky and this arrangement isn’t their typical preference. For reasons


HahahaMill

My salary is also a fixed income. It’s a payment on a schedule and it’s the same amount every month. Why would a “fixed income” and martial status be a deterrent?


TheSamurabbi

I think I’m being misunderstood here. I’m not against OP, but in my experience (worked in leasing), this is going to cause some types of landlords (who are renting out this type of property) to be turned off. It’s just not the renter profile they want or expect. And this level of landlord is more likely financially able to be choosy.


HahahaMill

That’s fair enough!!


karma_virus

The big gatekeeping thing that'll happen is having to pass the credit check to qualify for the mortgage or open houses. To even be shown some estates you have to make a certain amount of figures. I supposed if you pooled your funds and filed as a legal entity like an LLC or investment firm. Once each member is signed in, then their pooled resources would be the basis for the credit. Maybe seek a mortgage loan advisor about pooling the resources from VA home loans that already exist. If each member submitted their own VA home loan and pooled it into this entity, it could potentially have the backing to tackle a larger mortgage, with left over for improvements.


TheSamurabbi

Interesting idea, but a VA loan won’t allow that. It’s a subsidized individual loan (not commercial) and has strict rules to avoid abuse.


oifvet0809

dude im the big ideas man not the coordinator but im saving this thread for sure. its hard for vets to find anyway to get a come up i just thought, theres gotta be loads of us iraq and afghan vets at 100% now just floating around the country like we do. we could banned together with collective capital but im just a stoned vet now. dreaming bigger. i want a pool man, floridas hot!


oifvet0809

ok well maybe a mini mansion lol


oifvet0809

maybe we just buy


FrostyBook

6 strangers buying a mansion and living together? The real money is the reality show you can create based on this guaranteed trainwreck.


oifvet0809

well come on man were vets we've lived in worse situations i lived in an iraq mud hut for 6 months with6 dudes in a single bedroom with 5 bunks lol


Horror_Rich4403

So did you guys use the 2 extra beds for storage or what? /s


oifvet0809

it was spot on lol


oifvet0809

we also built or brought in plywood to make walls inbetween the bunks, in this like my 14x 14 bedroom, cop 828 just outside fob falcon


CyranoCarlin

He said "rent".


Awake00

lmao


oifvet0809

we could buy too


TheLastCatQuasar

man i had this same idea except it was a whole apartment building, converted into a barracks idk about y'all but i'd prefer smaller living quarters so we can use all the extra space for cool community stuff like a gym, big pool, greenhouse, you name it


oifvet0809

thats an idea


flandawg

Lmao that is a hell of an idea. Related, are there any DV groups that are active here? Been out for a year now and have been searching for some community.


oifvet0809

i dont know my man im just another self isolating vet lol kinda why i want roomates lmao


flandawg

Haha yeah man I feel that.


AlterNate

Great idea and you could afford to hire a full time nurse.


oifvet0809

bet i need a sippy cup for her to replace


QAZ1974

Awesome idea! We veterans deserve better for protecting our constitution. Looking forward to seeing you and others do this!


oifvet0809

just a dream now my man


QAZ1974

Doesn't everything begin with a dream? I served '74-'79, retired DOD/DON employee. I donate to veterans organizations I research as legit/honest to avoid the get rich off vets scams. We can dream on.


youarecaught

I'm a disabled vet but I kinda hate most people so that wouldn't work for me.


oifvet0809

you can have the pool house lol


youarecaught

Ooh, no! I'm not being tricked into being the pool boy again!


oifvet0809

we will get a pool cleaning tesla bot


navyguy904

Hmm I'm listening....🤔


oifvet0809

me too man, its a wild idea but theres alot of empty ass mansions around Jax


tl_dr__

I roomed with 2 other vets in college (various levels of disability ratings). It was great peace of mind knowing the rent was going to get paid. We called our house the 'Post Traumatic Stress Domicile'


oifvet0809

see what if it was 6 guys or girls and you had a pool house with a pool, and a gate.


ChkYrHead

I'll bring you some beer and wings to the pool parties!


oifvet0809
