Vets & Active Duty Military: We Want Your Real Estate Stories

In honor of Veterans Day, HousingWatch is looking for stories from veterans and current service members of the U.S. Armed Forces about their experience in today's real estate market.

Has the VA Loan program helped you? Did you have a hard time qualifying for a VA loan? Are HOA fees piling up for your family while you're on tour? Did you receive a temporary or permanent modification of a mortgage that allowed you to beat a foreclosure? Are you considering buying a new home (or perhaps a foreclosure) thanks to current low mortgage rates and home prices?

No matter the topic, whether you're a first time or repeat buyer -- or even a renter -- we're looking to honor our men and women in uniform by telling your stories about how you're managing in today's rough and tumble housing market.

Stand up and be heard. Send your stories and photos to mystory@aolrealestate.com.
