BUYING VS BUILDING A HOME WITH THE VA HOME LOAN BOUGHT BUILT

Transcript

I bought a $500,000 home using the VA loan. I built a $500,000 home using the VA one-time construction loan. I put 0% down. Me too. My home was move-in ready exactly and I knew exactly what I was getting before I moved in. My finishes, upgrades and customized my family needs. My maintenance cost could be higher because it's an older home. Since everything in my home is brand new, I should have fewer repairs and maintenance cost in the early years. Building the day I bought my home and I started with a brand new home that demands comparable homes in the area.
