VA Home Loans

United States VA Loans built its name on this program, and it's the primary benefit Danny Plattner works with every day for Davis-Monthan active-duty members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses.

• Zero Down Payment: Eligible buyers purchase near Davis-Monthan with no down payment, which matters when a PCS move already comes with relocation costs.
• No Private Mortgage Insurance: VA loans never carry monthly mortgage insurance, unlike a conventional loan with less than 20 percent down.

• Competitive Interest Rates: VA-backed loans typically price lower than conventional financing.

Conventional Loans

Danny Plattner recommends conventional financing for Davis-Monthan-area buyers with strong credit and steady income, including dual-military households and civilian contractors working on base.

• Property Versatility: Works for primary residences, second homes, and investment property, useful for members who PCS again later and decide to keep the home as a rental.
