Summary

Why this could be the perfect time to buy a home, even though lending rates are higher than they have been in the last several years. Benefit of having a lender that understands pilot pay: Not all lenders understand the pay structure and transition timelines of military and airline pilots. Marty explains why this insight matters—and how it can save your deal. Realtors often push local lenders they "trust"—but that may not be in your best interest.

Learn how to spot biased recommendations and protect your wallet.

How to avoid VA Loan pitfalls: From misclassifying primary residences to playing games with second homes—Marty unpacks the legal traps that could put your pilot license at risk. www.TridentHomeLoans.com or www.myTHL.com Marty Medve Cell: 850-346-0250
