If you are active duty or prior military, I would open a a checking and/or savings account with Navy Federal Credit Union.

This house was purchased using a VA loan, and was originally our primary residence prior to our latest military move to Cape Cod, MA.

The city (Temecula, CA) I bought in is growing, safe and has high potential for rental due to the job opportunities and military base near the area.

N E ways thats why I'm selling I was renting but the tenants had a medical issue and are being separated from the military.

Amex provides a 0% Interest loan to active duty military members as a "thanks" - I've used it a couple times now.

The thing I have found is that the buyer client focuses mainly on "lowest rate"...sometimes, they choose a large national lender that advertises on TV, or through their work (military), or some other outlet touting "best in customer service, etc"...In my experience, the large national lenders often slow down the purchase process, or get to a few days before closing and decide that "no, they don't intend to finance the loan because buyer has xyz in their history".  

@Stephen VanMeter it would be and it was a steal back in 2012 because the military was paying double my mortgage for housing allowance.  

Sam, I am a Savannah native that owns a rental property there (I have been relocated thanks to the military).

There are some good cash flowing pockets of town in solid neighborhoods (think around the military bases, Randolph and Lackland).

I live in a town called Clovis, New Mexico and it is a very small military town.
