Your VA loan should fit your family.
The VA loan is not the problem. Bad advice is. I compare multiple wholesale lenders and build your plan around real life, not the largest approval.

The direct answer
A VA loan is more than a rate and no down payment.
A VA-backed purchase loan offers eligible Veterans and service members a path to buy with no required down payment, no monthly mortgage insurance, and flexible underwriting. Your file still needs eligible service, available entitlement, qualifying income and credit, an acceptable property, and final lender approval.

Why I built That VA Guy
When we moved to Middle Georgia, we had $27.54 to our name.
We were a family of four trying to build a life with almost no margin. My Air Force leadership approved me for a second job, and the job led me into the mortgage industry.
I have since used my VA benefit twice and built my career from the ground up. I created That VA Guy so Veterans receive direct answers from someone who understands the move, the money stress, and the benefit from both sides.
How the name stuck
“Hey, this is Mitch, the VA guy. He knows VA loans.”
Agents and clients kept introducing me this way after I focused on VA loans. Referral after referral, I became “that VA guy” before I built the brand.
- A payment built for your family’s life
- Straight answers, even when the answer is no
- Multiple wholesale lender options
- One person accountable through closing
- A plan built around your full VA benefit

Moving to another state?
Ask me before you choose another lender.
A client moved to Maryland, so I added Maryland licensing and stayed with the file. Depending on the state, company licensing, and timing, Temporary Authority offers a path to keep the same mortgage plan while an application is processed.

★★★★★“Words fail me today as I am so in shock how Mitchell Tucker has been a Fantastic VA Lender. I first met him through my also incredible Realtor Marsheila! I’m so blessed to have an incredible team with the housing process. Got a Great house with a Great deal, Got a check at closing and chose a location I wanted. Mitchell went above and beyond. Got me a loan for higher than I expected, pre approved me for VA loan in less than a week I spent a year trying to get. Very glad of this and can’t thank Mitch enough for the support and encouragement I’ve gotten. Such a blessing and highly recommend him if you’re a veteran or service member as this helped this Vet!!!!”
