5 VA Loan Myths Debunked – What Veterans in the Greater Chicago Area Need to Know

VA loans are one of the most powerful benefits available to veterans, yet myths often stop buyers and sellers from using them.

As a Marine Corps veteran and a top Chicago REALTOR®, I’ve heard them all.

Let’s debunk the most common VA loan myths for Chicagoland veterans.

Myth #1: VA Loans Take Longer
Truth: With today’s systems, VA loans often close as quickly as conventional loans. Experienced VA lenders make the difference.

Myth #2: You Can Only Use It Once
Truth: Eligible veterans can use their VA loan benefit multiple times throughout their life.

Myth #3: Sellers Lose Money
Truth: VA buyers are just as strong as conventional buyers. VA loans are backed by the government, protecting both sides.

The Truth: VA Benefits Are Built to Serve You

The VA loan program was designed to reward service. It’s flexible, powerful, and built to help you achieve homeownership.
