My husband is active duty Navy so I get it!

For my first personal home, I did a VA loan with Navy Federal Credit Union and it was simple and my wife's 1 1/4 years at her job sufficed when we got the preapproval so I would look now if I were you before interest rates go up again.

@Daniel Beaulieu Try reaching out to Michael Hodges Firs Place Management or Mario Gonzalez with Navy to Navy Homes

I spoke with Navy Federal Credit Union and they said there is no seasoning period for refinancing (although the young lady didn't seem to be all that knowledgable).

I started with navy federal but learned they only finance 2 unit properties.

Background: I'm 20 years old, active duty Navy stationed in San Diego for the next 5 years.So, my wife is going to be moving out here from New York where we are from in June.

Here's the thread: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/123956I've been asked about it a couple of times, so I wanted to give an update in the open forum in the event anyone else is looking for non-conventional ways to finance their deals.The credit union is Navy Federal.

But there is a Navy base, and Boeing in the area if that doesn't work out.

Im in a similar situation as you are I call Pittsburgh home at the same time Im also a merchant marine for the Navy and only spend about 2 mths a yr in Pittsburgh.

Navy Federal has made its Home here now and would probably work great. there are many others as well.But as William asked, "what are you trying to accomplish with them?"
