This week on Work Like A Mother, Marina chats with guest Brian Hirono, an expert in VA loans, about their importance and underutilization in the veteran community. Brian shares his non-traditional entry into the mortgage industry and his passion for serving veterans through education and tailored financial services. With almost 90% of his business involving VA loans, Brian emphasizes their benefits, such as zero down payment and no PMI, due to government backing. The discussion covers eligibility criteria for active duty members, retirees, National Guards, Reserves, and surviving spouses. Marina points out the huge potential in the real estate market, as less than 12% of veterans use their benefits. They also touch on legislation that may allow veterans to pass down their benefits, impacting generational wealth. The episode delves into the necessity of educating veterans about their resources and adapting communication strategies in the ever-changing real estate landscape.
