🎖️ "Leadership isn’t given. It’s earned."

That’s what Cory Geisler, Past VFW Wisconsin State Commander and Current VFW National Council Member, shared with us in our latest podcast episode.

Too often, veterans walk into a VFW or American Legion hall and immediately get told, "You’d make a great Post Commander!"

But Cory’s experience was different. He was encouraged to sit back, learn, and step up when he was ready. And that’s exactly how true leadership should be built — on trust, service, and experience, not just a title.

🎖️ 4 BIG VA Loan Myths… BUSTED!
There’s so much misinformation out there about VA Loans, and it’s costing veterans opportunities. Let’s clear the air once and for all:

1️⃣ “VA Loans Take Longer” – False. A good lender gets it done just as fast.
2️⃣ “You Can Only Use It Once” – Nope! Use it again and again if you qualify.
3️⃣ “Only for First-Time Buyers” – No way. Any eligible veteran can use it.
4️⃣ “You Need 20% Down” – Zero down is one of the biggest VA loan benefits.

💥 If you’ve been told any of these myths, it’s time to talk to a VA-savvy real estate expert who’s actually walked the walk.

📲 Have questions or want to see what you qualify for? Let’s chat.
