Good News for Veterans!

Today's news includes an announcement by Wal-Mart that they are pledging to hire 100,000 Veterans with honorable discharges over the next 5 years. I think this is great. I am not really a Wal-Mart fan, but this could make me one. I have seen some numbers that if a veteran who works for Wal-Mart has a spouse who has an average job, that they could qualify for the average home in the U.S. which is $186,000. So selfishly that could be a boost to the housing industry.

And since we at MIG also specialize in VA loans we can participate too. This is a good time to point out that THDA (the first time buyer agency in Tennessee) is offering Vets (and they don't have to be first time buyers) one half per cent off on their mortgage. That would put their starting rate at 3.1%. This is their Homeownership for the Brave program.

So if you know a Vet we can help please email me at george.margrave@migonline.com or call me at (615) 777-3299 and I will help them!
