An honorably-discharged U.S. Marine and war veteran, currently working in law enforcement, living in Pleasant Hill, was looking to purchase a new property and relocate closer to his work in Oakland. He found the perfect spot, a townhouse in Alameda with a yard for his dog.

I was able to get his loan approved and closed using a Veterans Administration loan with a 670 credit score and 2.5% down payment on a purchase price of $710,000. The loan closed in three weeks, from contract date to closing.
