Why the VA Loan is Your Best Tool for Buying a Home in Pittsburgh
Let me break down what Uncle Sam actually gave you for buying a home in the Pittsburgh real estate market:
Zero Down Payment
That's right. $0. Nada. While everyone else is scrambling to save 3-20% down, you can walk into Pittsburgh homeownership with your wallet intact. On a $300,000 home in Mt. Lebanon or Sewickley, that's keeping $60,000 in YOUR pocket instead of draining your savings.
Conventional buyers putting down less than 20%? They're stuck paying Private Mortgage Insurance—usually $100-200/month that does absolutely nothing for them. You? Don't have to worry about it. That's $1,200-$2,400 every single year staying in your account. Money you could use for Penguins tickets or actually enjoying your new Pittsburgh neighborhood.
Seller Can Pay Your Closing Costs Up to 4% of the purchase price.
We're talking thousands of dollars that you can negotiate for the seller to cover. Suddenly homeownership costs even less upfront.
Better Interest Rates VA loans typically come with lower rates than conventional mortgages. Because the VA backs the loan, lenders see you as less risky. Lower rate = lower monthly payment = more money for literally anything else.
No Prepayment Penalty
Want to pay your mortgage off early? Go for it. Want to refinance when rates drop? Do it. No penalties, no games. You Can Use It Again and Again This isn't a one-time deal. Sell your house, and you can use your VA loan benefit again. And again. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
VA Loans Get a Bad Rap in Pittsburgh. We're Here to Change That.
Most local Pittsburgh real estate agents don't understand VA loans — so they tell sellers to avoid them. That's not okay.
Here's what sets us apart:
-
We educate listing agents so your offer gets the respect it deserves
-
We identify homes to tour with high likelihood to pass the VA Home Inspection
-
We handle all the complexity — the extra paperwork is on us, not you
You put your life on the line for this country. Advocating for your VA offer in Fox Chapel, Wexford, or Shadyside? That's the least we can do.
Your VA benefit is an asset, not a liability. Let's use it.
Did You Know You Can Build Wealth With The VA Loan?
You can purchase up to a 4 unit multifamily property with the VA loan, and gain valuable rental income.
-
You must live in one the units for at least 12 months and occupy it within 60 days of closing.
-
You can rent the other units out - potentially covering the cost of your mortgage.
-
Example: A 2 unit duplex where one unit rents for $1700/month.
-
If your mortgage payment was $1,500, your rental income would cover your mortgage and provide $200 in extra monthly income.
-
-
There are multiple strategies - and some caveats - but there are multiple ways to leverage your VA loan benefit to build wealth overtime by purchasing multiple properties.
-
If you're using the VA loan and active duty, there are provisions that allow you to rent the entire property and potentially buy another.

The process for a VA loan is 4 simple steps. We'll take care of all the extra paperwork and provide you with our concierge service from application to closing day.

Pets For Vets
Hounds For Heroes
Hounds For Heroes builds on our mission of rescuing a pet from a kill shelter for every home sold—by making an additional donation to help Veterans living with combat-related PTSD access a trained service dog.
Training a service dog can cost $35,000+ and often takes 12 months or more. Many Veterans wait years. Hounds For Heroes exists to raise awareness and help nonprofits fund training so more Veterans can get the support they deserve—sooner.
Introducing Pets for Vets — Coming Soon
Building on our rescue mission, Pets for Vets will provide a grant to help a Veteran adopt a dog or cat from a nonprofit rescue. We’re still saving a pet from a kill shelter—while creating a second chance for the Veteran who brings them home.
