Colorado Springs Is One of the Most Military-Dense Markets in the Country — Are You Ready for VA Buyers?

Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever SFB, and the Air Force Academy together bring tens of thousands of active-duty and veteran families into the Colorado Springs housing market every year. Many of them are VA-eligible buyers — and many real estate agents are still turning them away or mishandling their offers because of outdated myths about VA loans.

This class fixes that. In two hours, you'll walk out with the math, the myths, and the mechanics of VA loans — so you can serve military buyers confidently, write stronger offers on their behalf, and close more transactions.

$0 Down VA loans require no down payment for qualified veterans — the most powerful buying tool in Colorado Springs
No PMI VA borrowers pay no private mortgage insurance, lowering monthly costs compared to FHA and many conventional loans
$832,750 2026 El Paso County VA loan limit — your military buyers have more purchasing power than you may think

6 Modules. 2 Hours. Zero Fluff.

Module 01
VA Loan Myths — Busted
"VA appraisals kill deals." "VA buyers need skin in the game." "Sellers won't accept VA offers." We dismantle the top 10 myths that are costing your clients offers — with data and real transaction examples.
Module 02
The VA Funding Fee Math
Walk through the actual numbers that show why a VA loan often beats a 20% conventional down payment in long-term cost — and how to explain this clearly to both buyers and listing agents.
Module 03
Entitlement, COE, and Eligibility
Understand the Certificate of Eligibility, Tier 1 and Tier 2 bonus entitlement, and how to verify eligibility before writing an offer — so you never waste a client's time on a deal that won't close.
Module 04
The VA Appraisal Process
How VA appraisals actually work, what MPRs (Minimum Property Requirements) mean for your listings, and how to prepare sellers and buyers to avoid delays.
Module 05
VA Construction & Renovation Loans
An introduction to VA One-Time-Close construction loans and VA renovation loans — products very few agents understand, opening a niche opportunity for agents who do.
Module 06
Writing Winning VA Offers
How to structure VA offers to compete with conventional buyers, what to tell listing agents, and how to position your VA buyer as a strength — not a liability — in a competitive market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this class really free?
Yes, completely free for all attendees. Vic teaches this class as a service to the Colorado Springs real estate community and to the veterans and military families who depend on knowledgeable agents.
How is the CE certificate issued?
This course is DORA-approved. After completing the class and passing a short quiz, your 2-hour CE certificate will be emailed to you and reported to DORA within 5 business days.
Can I book this for my entire brokerage team?
Yes — in fact, that's the most popular format. Vic comes to your office, your conference room, your title company's event space, or even a lunch location. We ask for a minimum of 5 attendees for in-person sessions.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend at least 2 weeks for in-person classes to confirm logistics and get your team registered. Zoom sessions can often be arranged with less lead time — just reach out and we'll find a date that works.
I'm not in Colorado Springs — can I still attend on Zoom?
Absolutely. Any Colorado licensed real estate agent can attend the Zoom session and earn the 2 DORA-approved CE hours. The class content is specific to Colorado's VA loan market.
Does Vic sell anything during the class?
No. This is an educational CE class, not a sales presentation. Vic's reputation is built on being a trusted resource for agents — not on turning CE classes into pitches. Agents who want to refer VA clients to Vic after the class are welcome to, but it's never the point.
