Brian Skaar - VanDyk Mortgage Corporation

I'm a veteran, and having the ability to use a Veterans Administration (VA) loan to finance a home is a tremendous benefit of service to the country we all love. However, such loans can be complicated and require that the intended property—in my case, a condo—be certified by the VA.
