Can I secure a VA Home Loan based on new BAH rate

CRAIG LAMONT FOREST JR

Posted

Good evening,

I am writing in reference to utilizing my VA home loan. Im currently active duty and in the process of moving to California. My BAH rate as of January 2023 in California will support the purchase of a new property. My issue is that my current BAH rate would not get me approved at limits that I am in need of. Is there any way that I can be approved using the California rate prior to my PCS across country? Thanks in advance!

V/R

Craig

@CRAIG LAMONT FOREST JR Hey Craig, I'm an Air Force veteran and current RE agent in CA & FL. I was last stationed at LA Air Force Base in El Segundo and used my VA loan to purchase there.

I work with a lender who specializes in VA loans in SoCal and has helped dozens of our team's clients get VA loans (including myself). DM me if you'd like, I would be happy to share his info with you and help you in any way that I can.

Good luck with the PCS!
