If you just got orders

New orders, a report date, and a house that is not coming with you

Maybe you saw these orders coming for a year. Maybe they landed with a report date that feels much too close. Either way, the same question is sitting on the kitchen table: what do we do with the house?

You are thinking about the leak you meant to fix, the carpet the dog ruined, the tenant you would have to screen from three time zones away. You are wondering whether selling now means leaving money behind, and what happens to your VA loan.

Here are straight answers to each of those, from a Navy veteran who has had his own life run on military orders. We lay out renting, listing and selling as-is fairly, then make our case for the last one, and say when it is the wrong call.

Your options

PCS from Little Creek-Fort Story: should you rent or sell the house?

Three paths, and each one is right for somebody. Here they are side by side, without the sales pitch first.

Option 1

Become a long-distance landlord

Worth a hard look if a tenant’s rent would cover the mortgage, taxes and insurance with room left over, and you expect another tour on this coast someday.

  • Every repair call, vacancy and renewal follows you to the next command. A property manager can take them on, for a cut of the rent.
  • The roof, the HVAC and the water heater keep aging while you are gone, and the bills are still yours.
  • Your tenant may be military too, and their orders can cut the lease short (see the SCRA below).

Option 2

Try the open market

Makes sense if the house needs nothing, the report date is a long way off, and someone can keep the place spotless for showings through the pack-out.

  • Expect an inspection list and repair negotiations right in the middle of your move.
  • The buyer’s loan, appraisal or inspection can push back the closing or end the deal.
  • The region has more homes for sale than it did a year ago, so yours has more to compete with (numbers below).

Option 3

Take a cash offer from us, as-is

The right choice when a closing date you can count on matters more than squeezing out every dollar, or when salt air and age have left repairs you cannot manage from your next duty station.

  • Plainly: expect an as-is cash offer to land below what a fully repaired house might fetch on the open market.
  • In exchange, the house goes as it stands. You skip repairs and showings, pay no agent commissions, leave the standard closing costs to us, and set the closing date yourself.

What listing looks like right now

Sell vs. rent

Landlord from afar, or a clean sale? Side by side

Renting the house out works well for some military families. For others it turns into a second job run from another state. Line the two up before you choose.

Sell to us As-is cash sale Keep it Rent it out
Money in hand One check at closing: your equity, net of the mortgage payoff. Each month, whatever the tenant pays after the house’s own bills: loan, taxes, insurance, repairs, and a manager if you hire one.
Once you have left No tenant, no spare keys, no house to think about from the next duty station. Calls about leaks, late rent and renewals, from wherever you are stationed next.
Fixing it up Skip it. We buy the house in the condition it is in. Bring it up to rental standard before move-in day, and keep paying for repairs after.
Your VA loan Paid off at closing, which VA counts among the ways to get used entitlement restored. Your VA loan stays on the house, though VA says some entitlement may remain for buying the next one.
What you risk Missing out on whatever the house might gain in value later. Vacancies between tenants, damage, and a lease that can end early when a military renter gets orders.
The finish line One closing day, chosen by you, with clear title. Only when you sell later, probably by phone from another state.

If the rent covers everything and you plan to come back to the coast, keeping it can make sense. If the numbers are thin, or you just want a clean exit before you report, a direct sale ends it on one date.

Orders to closing

How a PCS house sale works, from the day orders arrive

Everything hangs off the report date. We build the sale around it, not the other way around, and there is no countdown clock: every date is your call.

  1. The day the orders are in hand

    Fill us in on the house and the report date

    The form takes a few minutes. Add the pack-out date if you have one, and tell us whether the house is empty, lived in or rented.

  2. While you sort out the move

    A quick look, then a cash offer

    One walk-through, booked around your duty days, with nothing to fix or tidy beforehand. If the offer misses, turn it down; you are under no obligation.

  3. Once the pack-out is on the calendar

    Close before or after the pack-out

    Close before the movers show up, or after the truck pulls away. Name the day; once title is clear, that is closing day.

  4. Closing day, wherever you are

    Sign and collect your proceeds

    Still in Virginia Beach? Sign here. Already gone? Your closing agent can say whether you can sign from the new duty station or through a power of attorney.

Report date. You report to your next duty station, with the house handled.

Get my cash offer Tell us your report date. We plan backward from it.

VA loan

VA loan on the house? What a pre-PCS sale means for your entitlement

Used a VA loan on this house? Selling it is often the step that frees that entitlement for the next one. Every point below comes from VA.

For the actual numbers on your entitlement and your next loan, go to your lender and VA. We are a home buyer, not a lender or a loan advisor.

  • One route VA lists for getting used entitlement back: sell the home that the earlier loan paid for, with that loan fully repaid.
  • Or a qualified Veteran can assume the loan from you, swapping in as much of their own entitlement as you originally used.
  • A third route, paying the loan in full while keeping the home, can be used only once.
  • Even if none of the three applies, VA says leftover entitlement may still let you buy or refinance a home.
  • VA takes a Certificate of Eligibility request with restoration three ways: online, through an online application your lender files, or on VA Form 26-1880. Source: VA.gov, Eligibility for VA home loan programs (restoring entitlement)

Already reported to the next command? Here is how closing works

Title work does not always line up with a report date. If you are already gone from Virginia Beach, or deployed, by the time title is ready, flying back to sign may not be necessary.

Call your closing agent early. Ask about signing from wherever you are, and whether this sale can go through on a power of attorney, and in what wording, before anyone drafts one.

How the SCRA can affect your house

Two spots where the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act may come into play: a mortgage older than your service, and a lease with a military tenant.

Your own facts decide whether any of this applies, and the legal assistance office is the place to ask. Nothing on this page is legal advice.

Meet Angel

A Navy veteran-owned local buyer, not a call center

Remodeling Investment Group is owned by Angel Gomero, who served in the U.S. Navy. He has lived by orders and report dates himself, so yours set the schedule here. They are not a problem to be worked around.

He has also worked as a contractor, so the wear that salt air and coastal storms leave on a house does not surprise him on a walk-through. That wear is part of what an as-is offer already accounts for, not a list of chores handed back to you before closing.

And the business is rooted here in Hampton Roads, rather than being a national franchise or an app. Angel is a local investor buying houses on the same coast you are leaving.

Get my cash offer More about Angel

  • Navy veteran-owned

    Angel is a U.S. Navy veteran. He understands PCS orders and deployments firsthand, and he can plan a sale around your report date.

  • A contractor’s eye on repairs

    Angel has worked as a contractor. He can walk through a house and price the repairs honestly, instead of padding them to push your offer down.

  • Local, not a franchise or an app

    Remodeling Investment Group is based here in Hampton Roads. You are not dealing with a national franchise or an app.

  • As-is, any condition

    No repairs, no cleaning. Sell the house the way it is today and close on the date you pick, once title is clear.

Questions

PCS questions from Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story families

Should I sell or rent my house when I PCS from Little Creek or Fort Story?

Sell if landlording from your next duty station sounds like more than you want; rent if the rent pays for itself and you expect to come back or hold the house for the long run. A rental keeps any future gain along with the repairs, empty months and tenant calls. A sale wraps it up on one date, and VA names a sale that pays off the loan as one way to restore your entitlement.

How fast can you close on a house near JEB Little Creek-Fort Story?

On whatever day you pick, provided title is clear. It helps to leave a cushion between the closing and your pack-out and report dates, so share both with us up front.

Do I have to be in Virginia Beach to close?

Not always. Your closing agent is the person to ask about signing from a distance and about using a power of attorney. Navy JAG cautions that nobody has to accept a power of attorney, so learn the requirements before having one drawn up.

Will you buy a house with water or storm damage?

Yes. Salt air, water damage, an old roof, a project you never finished: we buy the house as it stands, and nothing needs fixing, cleaning or staging beforehand.

I am Army, not Navy. Can you still help?

Yes. Little Creek-Fort Story is a joint base, and our offer is the same whatever uniform you wear: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, or a civilian employee or family member. Our owner just happens to be a Navy veteran.

What happens to my VA loan when I sell?

When the sale pays the loan off in full, that is one of the ways VA lists to get used entitlement back. The restoration is requested with a Certificate of Eligibility, online, through your lender, or on VA Form 26-1880. Your lender can explain how it affects the next loan.

Are you connected to the base or the Navy?

No. We are a privately owned home buyer run by a Navy veteran. Neither the base, the Navy, the Army nor the Department of Defense is affiliated with us or endorses us.

Stationed somewhere else in Hampton Roads? See the PCS guide for every base.
