Why Only 16% of Veterans Use VA Loans — And How We Fix It

If you’ve spent more than five minutes around Mike or Sunny from the Red Sash Group, you’ve heard us talk about VA loans.

They’re more than a program — they’re part of our purpose.

As veterans who used our own VA entitlement, and as a team who serves military families every day, we fight hard to make sure veterans understand the benefits they earned.

So when Sunny was invited to join the Icons of Real Estate Podcast to share the truth about VA loans, it was an immediate YES.

Because every veteran we help is one more starfish we throw back into the ocean — one family whose life trajectory changes through homeownership.

🎙️ Here’s what Sunny covered:
