@Thomas Nordberg mentions a strategy that a lot of military members and veterans may not even realize is an option.Standard VA home loans are intended to put military members and veterans into move-in ready homes that don't require significant repairs.However, there is a separate loan product called the VA Renovation loan, which essentially packages a home purchase loan and a home improvement loan into a single product.

It has  very powerful free platform, as well as a great premium package.
