Congrats to him. I can't imagine how I would have bought my first house without my VA benefit. Sometimes I wonder why I did Sure was easier in the old days to call the landlord and say your heater, oven etc was broken.

Sure is not easy without some form of help.
My dad helped me purchase my first home and in turn I have helped Jr.

Both renting and owning have pros and cons but overall, it is your place. He got a bank owned property well below market value so he is ahead of the game. Rent won't go up on him and can only stand to go up in value.

Tell him CONGRATULATIONS on owning his first Official Money Pit!!!

I still remember closing on my first house (WTF was I thinking?)-

"You do realize if you go through the VA this will be much easier??""

"I'm holding that option for the house I will be retiring in."

"best of luck to you"

I'm still in the same house!!!!
