Many families relocating to Patuxent Naval Air Base like the convenience of living on base while others like the opportunity to become part of a local community and school system. If you are considering purchasing a home in your next relocation be sure you start the process with a knowledgeable Realtor and Lender in the area.
You want to interview Realtors that are familiar with military relocation and you want to deal with an agent that is full-time. Given the time constraints most relocated families face "Time is of the Essence." Ask for references from the prospective Realtor to talk to other military persons about their experience with them.
If you decide to purchase and you want to use your VA benefits to secure a loan you need to know that the maximum "insured" loan amount with no down payment is $417,000 NOT including the VA funding fee. You can secure an "insured" loan of $450,000 with a 5% down payment. For more information about the VA funding fee and/or your benefits please visit http://www.va.gov/.
Make sure you do you own homework - don't rely totally on the Realtor or Lender. You want to ensure that the real estate market is positive in the area you are considering. Are the market values on the rise, decline or are they stable. Your Realtor can run reports for you to review and ask questions to get a better understanding of the market.

Nice job, Karen! I enjoyed talking to you this morning and look forward to seeing your future posts targeted specifically to Dahlgren and A.P. Hill transferees. May I suggest that you join and post this also to Posts to Localism Group?
Margaret - thank you for your helpful tips! I'm glad to have you on my team. I have already made a few adjustments per your comments above and our telephone conversation (lol).
Please remember if I can ever do anything to assist you please let me know.
Karen,
Tucson is home to Davis Monthan Air Force Base; this is a very useful post. Thanks!

Hey Mike,
Thanks! I don't have a referral agent in Tucson...perhaps you and I could exchange information?
It's All Good,

Karen, where did you go? I keep watching for more posts targeted to your military clients!
Hey Margaret, I'm still around. Slowly gathering information for another military blog. I have one I'm working on now with information for the consumer as well as the realtor. I want to add pictures like you do to make the post more appealing to everyone. Wish me luck on getting the pictures in - I'm still having issues with sizing.
