Three years of saving. For money he never needed to spend.

A VA loan can mean no money down — and with the right negotiation, closing costs handled too. But nobody ever told him. So he waited. He put off looking. He watched prices climb while he built a pile of cash for a requirement that didn’t apply to him.
