Be prepared when you buy your first home!

Military home buyers are invited to a free seminar on using a VA loan to purchase a home.  The class will be held on the Bangor Submarine Base on November 6, 2007, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The class is free to active duty and retired military and their families, as well as reserve service members. 

The class will cover various topics regarding VA loans, including the general process of buying a home, benefits of a VA loan, steps to obtaining a VA loan, and avoiding common first-time homebuyer pitfalls.  For example, you can use your VA loan more than once.  Also, there is no such person as a VA inspector. Credit, eligibility, and negotiating are also discussed.

This information is offered by Kym Mason of Mason Mortgage and Marlene Scheffer and Terry Wimmer of Realty Station.  The instructors are real estate professionals experienced in VA loans.  Marlene Scheffer and Terry Wimmer are military spouses and have first-hand experience purchasing homes with a VA loan.
