As a Texas veteran you qualify if the property you purchase meets the criteria (I think less than $250,000?).

Savings: only around 5k, Debt: vehicle and credit card, Credit Score : High 600's  Veteran: so possible VA Loan (have been told to go FHA / FHA 203k)Before I committed to fixing my credit score 3 years ago (and it was disgusting) getting anything through a loan never worked.

Anyone from the Harrisburg, PA area have a freelance real estate photographer they would recommend?

Temple is a much quieter city than Harker heights and Killeen, but I think it’s a great place for Veterans That want a smaller town and access to a VA hospital. 

I joined the military and spent several years active before deciding I wanted to serve Veterans as my full-time job.

It is basically the same finishes, except look at that pictures that I had my photographer take and look at that he focused on and how the outside looked.

Is VA loan for Veterans only or for Veterans and their family?

Don't underestimate getting a college degree and that title of "veteran".

If it were important to them, they would have been back by now.Take photographs of everything, get rid of it as you see fit, and move on.

I am not a real estate 20 year veteran, I am not a guru... in fact I am simply certified math teacher for the state of CT and just like to take actions... and help folks discover similarly which actions make sense to make vs what doesn't make sense...At the end of the day... after me taking the course... in real estate... i realized that... by taking someone else's course... listening to podcast... reading other wonderful folks comments on Bigger Pocket forum on LInkedIn on Quora and just networking... with folks... not with the intent of a hidden agenda to brainwash someone.... into buying multi family homes with them..., but from the stand point of simply being a good person... and networking with folks who are of similar mindset... and understand the inner reasoning of what you are trying to do....
