MYTH 1: You can’t buy a house during a PCS.

TRUTH: You can absolutely buy a home during a PCS — and many military families do! With the right guidance and planning, it can be a smooth and smart move.

MYTH 2: VA loans take forever and are a hassle.

TRUTH: VA loans are often faster than people think, and they offer incredible benefits like $0 down and no PMI. A lender who knows VA loans can make the process seamless.

MYTH 3: Renting is always safer than buying if you’ll move again.

TRUTH: Not necessarily. In some markets, buying can build equity and offer tax advantages — especially if you plan to rent the property out later or return to the area.

MYTH 4: Military families don’t have time to find the “right” home.

TRUTH: You do — especially with the right support. Virtual tours, local knowledge, and PCS-savvy realtors like Keys n Camo make it easier than ever.

MYTH 5: You need perfect credit to buy a home.

TRUTH: VA loans are flexible. While higher credit helps, many service members and vets qualify with fair or average credit.

MYTH 6: You can’t house-hunt until you arrive at your new duty station.

TRUTH: You can start well before you move! Many families shop and even buy remotely, using video walkthroughs and virtual closings.

MYTH 7: PCS moves are always chaotic.

TRUTH: They can be smooth — with early planning, clear expectations, and trusted help. That’s where Keys n Camo comes in.
