Mortgage Website Gives Back to Veterans with $5000 Homeownership Award

BELLEVUE, Wash., July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For over a decade, The Mortgage Reports (TMR) has been offering expert advice on home finance to veterans and their families. Along with valuable tips on home purchase, refinance, and other housing benefits, the leading mortgage advice website will now help in an even more practical way - with a $5,000 housing award and a comprehensive guide on VA loans and benefits.

"In our many years of working with veterans, we've found that far too many of them don't even know about the financial assistance available to them. We've been able to close the gap in a small way with our website, but we wanted to do something more," said Tim Lucas, Managing Editor of The Mortgage Reports. "By compiling all of our most helpful VA mortgage information along with other VA benefits in one comprehensive guide, we hope to promote further participation in these programs and offer a substantial leg up to a deserving veteran."

The Ultimate Guide to VA Loans and Benefits demystifies the often confusing web of veteran financial assistance programs for education, employment, healthcare, personal finance, and homeownership. The guide breaks these benefits down in easy-to-understand, actionable steps for military veterans seeking to claim what they've earned.

As part of the guide, TMR will also offer a $5,000 housing award to a deserving veteran interested in purchasing a new home or maintaining his or her current one. Veterans interested in the award should complete the online application located at the bottom of TMR's Ultimate Guide to VA Loans and Benefits.

According to a recent report prepared by the National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics, over half of those eligible do not use a single VA benefit.1 Knowing the positive impact homeownership can have, The Mortgage Reports hopes these new resources will inform and encourage more veterans to take advantage of these hard-earned benefits.
