Company NMLS3029 I’m Jeffry W.

Gay, a senior loan officer with a passion for helping families achieve the dream of homeownership. I began my mortgage career in 2004 after retiring from 20 years in the United States Air Force, where I proudly flew with important government officials and other VIPs. That same commitment, precision and service now define how I guide clients through the mortgage process. I specialize in VA loans, h

elping Veterans and Active-Duty Service Members maximize their hard-earned benefits. I also assist clients with conventional, FHA, refinance and purchase home loans, always going above and beyond to deliver a smooth, reliable closing experience. Known for my motto, “Smoking Bones and Closing Loans,” I bring creativity, dedication and value to every transaction — sometimes even celebrating with award-winning BBQ at closing. Outside of home financing, I’m a world-champion pitmaster, musician, DJ, golfer, proud grandfather of seven and lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan.

This can build you generational wealth, it's the smartest use of the VA Loan I've ever seen.

Here's what I've seen some servicemembers doing lately:

They're using a VA Construction Loan to buy either:
- A fixer upper
- A plot of land

Using that to build a multi-unit property. They live in one and rent out the others. If done right, this can cover the entire monthly payment.

On top of that, if you PCS, you can do it all over again in your new location. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for veterans and active service members.

That's $0 down and turning it into an income property that you can own outright.

DM me "build" if you want to do this.

If you're asking:
- What's the best VA benefit?
- What can I get as a veteran?
- How can I make money in the military?
- What are good jobs for veterans?

This is a great answer for you.

I had to look into this, here’s what I found 👇

This vet DM’d me asking if he could use a VA loan to buy land and build a fourplex on it.

I’d never been asked this before so I had to look into it.
Turns out, there’s such a thing as a VA construction loan and Veterans can get up to $1M to buy and build multi-unit buildings (as long as they live in one of the units for at least a year).

But after that, they can move out and turn the property into a pure income property.

I’d never heard of people doing this, so I had to call some people to make sure it’s possible, but it turns out it is.

If you’re eligible, No Downpayment required.

If you want to see how to do this for yourself, comment or DM me “build” and I’ll walk you through it.

Here's how I did it 👇

Most veterans and active duty are not taking full advantage of their VA benefits.

I spoke to this couple about how they were using their benefits and we realized they had left a lot of money on the table.

Of course every situation is different, but 90% of people I talk to discover some benefit that they didn't know existed.

Comment or DM me "VET" and I'll dig through it with you to make sure you're fully using my favorite parts of the VA benefits.
