After losing his wife of 55 years, Marine veteran Bernie LaPira returned to North Carolina and purchased a new home in Old Fort. His VA loan and NewDay Home Advantage allowed him to move forward without a down payment or upfront closing costs as he began a new chapter.

 

Rear Admiral Thomas Lynch, Executive Chairman of NewDay USA, discussed how Bernie’s story shows other Veterans what may be possible through homeownership and how reducing upfront costs can strengthen military families’ buying power.
