## Resource

This week on the Simply Authentic Podcast, we’re cutting through the noise and clearing up the confusion around VA loans with Senior Loan Officer Jack Langley of Gershman Mortgage. If you’ve ever heard that VA loans are complicated, less competitive, or “too good to be true,” this episode is for you. As a veteran himself, Jack’s journey into the world of VA loans is personal. After experiencing the homebuying process firsthand, he realized there had to be a better way to serve those who have served our country. That realization led him from underwriting into lending, where he’s made it his mission to truly understand VA loans inside and out. In this episode, we break down the misconceptions that often surround VA loans and tackle the questions that both homebuyers and REALTORS® are asking. We dig into the details of VA funding fees—how they’re calculated and what impacts them—along with the reality that while VA loans don’t require a down payment, there are situations where putting money down can be a smart strategy. We also cover some of the biggest advantages of VA loans, including the fact that there’s no monthly mortgage insurance, and unpack eligibility—what it really means and how some veterans may even have the ability to hold more than one VA loan at a time. Whether you’re a veteran considering homeownership or a real estate professional looking to better serve your clients, this conversation is packed with clarity, insight, and practical takeaways you won’t want to miss. https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyAuthenticPodcast https://www.gershman.com/loan-officers/jack-langley/ https://gatozarks.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066937632311 https://simplyauthenticpod.com/
