Dwight Goodwin and Joey Jones Discuss VA Home Loans for Veterans

One of the easiest way for veterans or active-duty service members to purchase a house is via the VA Home Loan. In this video Dwight Goodwin and Joey Jones of Veterans United discuss the features and requirements of the VA Home Loan.



The VA Home Loan is a 100% financing government-backed loan that features no down payment and no PMI. It allows the active-duty service member or qualifying veteran the opportunity to purchase a home with minimal money up-front. Although there is no down payment requirement, there are still some costs associated such as earnest money, home inspections, etc.

Contact Joey Jones at vajoeyjones.com for more information about the VA Home Loan or Dwight Goodwin at 913-912-3470 to discuss your real estate needs.

Real Estate 101: What is Earnest Money and why do I have to pay it?

The Real Estate 101 series is a short focus video segment focusing on purchase contracts and customary practices in the Johnson County Kansas real estate market.

In this edition, we focus on the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), its function and purpose. Earnest money is very similar to the concept of a down payment on an item. It is what provides peace of mind and a sense of security to the seller that you are serious about completing the purchase of the home.



If you are a first time home buyer and considering purchasing your first home, earnest money is one of many topics you will want to understand. Contact Dwight Goodwin today (913-912-3470) for additional home buyer resources!
