I'm not going to lie, preparing to buy a home is something more people should do. Research and planning will go a long way to save you time, money and heartache. Unfortunately, many people are winging it.

My guest, Chris Birk is here to help prepare us all on buying a home with a VA Loan. If you're a seasoned home buyer or looking to buy your first home, this is a valuable show for you. Chris shares what most people miss when buying a house and tips for being successful at it.

Chris Birk is the Director of Education for Veterans United Home Loans, the nation's largest VA lender, and author of "The Book on VA Loans: An Essential Guide to Maximizing Your Home Loan Benefits." Chris' articles and analysis have appeared at The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Fox Business and more.
