If you’ve served our country, you’ve earned more than our gratitude — you’ve earned real advantages when it comes to buying a home. Portland, Oregon, with its strong sense of community, diverse neighborhoods, and beautiful landscapes, is a fantastic place for Veterans and their families to put down roots.

Here’s what you need to know:

✅ VA Loan Benefits

The VA home loan is one of the most powerful tools available to Veterans. With no down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and competitive interest rates, it's designed to help you succeed. Many buyers are surprised by how far their VA loan can go in Portland’s market.

✅ Local Lenders Who Understand Veterans

Work with a VA-savvy lender — ideally one who specializes in Oregon VA loans. They’ll help you navigate the paperwork and ensure you’re getting the best terms. I also partner with a trusted local Veteran-owned mortgage company to streamline the process.

✅ Property Types Eligible for VA Loans

Whether you're buying a single-family home, a townhome, or even a new construction home, VA loans are flexible. Portland has a range of options that can work — from charming bungalows in SE to larger family homes on the west side.

✅ Zero Down Doesn’t Mean Zero Cost

While you can purchase with no down payment, there are still closing costs and inspections to budget for. However, many of these can be negotiated or covered through seller credits or lender concessions. You don’t need to do it alone — a good broker will help you plan it all out.

✅ You’ve Got a Team Behind You

As a Marine Veteran and Portland-based broker, I understand both the local market and your unique journey. I’ll guide you through every step — from getting pre-approved to handing over the keys.
