Why This Course Exists
Built for this market, not a generic template
BAH Strategy Built In
Most home buying courses ignore military housing allowances entirely. This bootcamp is built around BAH — how it is set, how to match your mortgage payment to it, and how to make the math work for your specific rank and family size.
Zero Down VA Loan Deep Dive
Module 2 covers the VA loan in more depth than most lenders explain it — including the funding fee exemption for disabled veterans, how to use VA entitlement more than once, and why assumable VA loans become a selling advantage when you PCS.
Remote Buying Strategy
Many Fort Knox families cannot visit Elizabethtown before their report date. Module 4 covers exactly how to buy remotely — what to ask your agent to show you on video, what cannot be seen on a walkthrough, and how Kentucky handles remote closings.
The Exit Strategy
Most buyers do not think about selling when they buy. Military families need to. Module 6 gives you the sell-vs-rent analysis, property management options from your next duty station, and the VA loan assumption strategy for maximum selling leverage.
