VA Loans Near Patrick Space Force Base

Our company started at Patrick

Morgan Financial exists because of an assignment to this base. In 1996, David Morgan took a part-time job as a loan officer while serving in the United States Air Force. He was later selected by the Air Force for Officer Training School and became a commissioned Air Force officer. After opting out of pilot training rather than spend an average of 180 days a year away from his growing family, David was re-assigned to Patrick Air Force Base in Satellite Beach, Florida.

While stationed here, David and his wife Yena earned Master’s degrees in Business Administration and Management, and David took a part-time job with a local mortgage company to help their military friends and classmates obtain loans. Within a year the business was taking off and David’s military career was transitioning to the Reserves. Morgan Financial was established in Florida by David and Yena Morgan on August 8, 2002.

More than two decades later we are still here, a family-owned, veteran-owned lender working out of Melbourne — just up the road from the gate. When you call, you reach a local licensed Mortgage Loan Originator who has done this for Space Coast military families before. Read the full story →

Already own near the base?

Your VA benefit does not stop at the purchase. A VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) is a streamlined option for homeowners who already have a VA loan, and a VA cash-out refinance can let you use equity you have built. Whether either one makes sense depends on your current loan, how long you plan to stay, and the costs involved — we will put the numbers in front of you so you can decide. See refinance options →

Being reassigned? Rules on occupancy, renting out your home and restoring entitlement all depend on your situation. We have walked Space Coast families through it before — ask us before you list or lease. More on VA loans →

Patrick Space Force Base VA loan FAQs

Do you work with buyers stationed at Patrick Space Force Base?

Yes. Morgan Financial was founded by an Air Force officer who was stationed at Patrick, and we have been lending to Space Coast military families from our Melbourne office since 2002. We pull your Certificate of Eligibility and work around your report date.

Can my BAH count as income when I qualify for a VA loan?

Often, yes. Basic Allowance for Housing can typically be counted as qualifying income when it is properly documented. We review your LES and orders and show you what it does to your numbers. Documentation requirements vary and all approvals are subject to credit and underwriting review.

I am PCSing to Patrick. Can I get pre-approved before I arrive?

Yes. Many buyers start with orders in hand before they ever reach Florida. We can pull your Certificate of Eligibility and issue a pre-approval remotely, then keep the file moving while you travel.

Do I have to live on base?

No. A VA loan is for a primary residence, and Patrick families buy throughout the area — Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Melbourne, Suntree, Merritt Island, Viera, Rockledge and Cocoa Beach.

Is there a VA funding fee, and do I have to pay it?

Most VA borrowers pay a one-time VA funding fee, which the VA sets as a percentage of the loan amount. What you pay depends on whether this is your first use of the benefit, whether you make a down payment, and your service type, and it can usually be financed into the loan. Some borrowers are exempt, including veterans receiving VA disability compensation and certain surviving spouses. We confirm your exact fee or exemption when we pull your COE.

What credit score do I need for a VA loan?

The VA itself sets no minimum credit score; individual lenders set their own requirements. Because our underwriting is done in-house, we review the full file rather than relying on an automated decision alone. All approvals are subject to credit and underwriting review.

Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?

Yes. Entitlement can be restored after a previous VA loan is paid off, and in some situations borrowers qualify with partial entitlement. We calculate where you stand when we pull your Certificate of Eligibility. VA loan limits, explained → Estimate it yourself with our VA Loan Entitlement Calculator.

What if I am Space Force, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserve?

Eligibility depends on your service type and length of service rather than the branch name, and Guard and Reserve members qualify under their own service requirements. The Certificate of Eligibility is what confirms it, and we pull that for you.
