Real Estate agents just want to sell you the house.  The mortgage lenders are the ones that may or may not be able to do VA loans.\n\nThe Real Estate agent WILL need to know that you are doing a VA loan so that when they do the offer/contract, they can notify the sellers that they need to pay some of the closing costs that the VA require.

Try a doggy/kitty day care that would incorporate walking services, training, kenneling and just a friendly environment.\n\nYou can maybe get training and references from volunteering at your local animal shelter.\n\nYour rates may need to be lower than the competition at first but after you get a few committed and satisfied customers you will be able to increase your rates.\n\nI don't know what your neighborhood allows, so you might want to check your zoning rules.\n\nI would pay good money if I could find someone reputable to take care of my animals and wouldn't just feed them crappy food and cage them up for hours on end.\n\nI think whatever you decide to do you'll excel, you stayed at a job for 11 yrs that speaks volume.\n\nStand out from the rest(which isn't that difficult) treat the animals well, and try to restrain from cages and cheap food.\n\nGood Luck!!

Generally yes.  California property tax (since Prop. 13) is fixed based on the last sale price (plus 2% inflation increase per year) unless the property has been "improved," then it is reassessed. Law allows presently only ONE exemption in CA for property taxes, of which one is the Veteran's exemption. This merely reduces the "Assessed Value" on your tax by $7,000.00, applied over the entire tax year. Other exemptions (like disability) reduce it by the same amount, and only one can be claimed per property. Certain persons (former POW's and recipients of the MOH) pay no property taxes in CA--they paid enough for our country.  Check with any California tax attorney for the latest info.  Hope this helps.

I would spend the next day or two looking at townhouses/homes that allow pets. Call those landlords/owners and explain the situation. Some of them may be willing to work with you, etc. It never hurts to check. \n\nIf you do need to go somewhere where pets are not accepted, try talking to a vet, shelter, or a kennel. These people work with animals because they love them, and they may be able to help you. I had a shelter watch my cat for 3 mos when I had a roommate that was allergic to animals. We made the deal that I would care for her as usual, bring food over, etc and I would also adopt another cat when I moved to my new place. I adopted 2. Just ask them ... you never know.\n\nDo they have any YMCA's around where you live? Any shelter over your head is better than no shelter, and sometimes we don't have much of a choice in the matter. \n\nGood luck to you.

I ran a search on houses for rent right now in those areas. Fresno is looking to be around $1000, maybe a bit less. Monterey is looking to be around $2000 +

I would suggest that you contact a Veteran's Service Officer.\nThere is usually one or more in a city building.\nAlso, check with Veteran Organizations such as the American Legion, VFW, DAV, Amvets, etc usually have someone that assists veteran's with filing for benefits.\nYou can find a local VSO at the VA's website http://www.va.gov/\n\nGood Luck

What is a PT?  California is very expensive. I am not sure $1500 a month is enough when you consider utilities for the house and food and gasoline is very expensive right now.\n\nHouses are very very expensive to rent and buy in California  and so are apartments.\n\nMaybe as your Dad to come over with your for a few weeks until you get our bearings.

California is pretty expensive, especially near the larger cities. I'd recommend finding a roommate that way you can live someplace somewhat decent and stay in the city. Try Los Angeles, Hollywood area, or Long Beach. If you don't have much money, there's prolly no way you can afford to have a place of your own. I'm from L.A., but the rents have gone up so much since I've been gone that Bakersfield (which is almost 2 hrs north) is as close as I can get. I have a 2 bedroom here and pay $680 a month. In L.A. a 2 bedroom will prolly run ya $1,200+. Good luck.

Absolutley free information is available through the state housing development authority or state housing agency.  You may be able to qualify for a variety of programs to save you money on the rate or get down payment assistance.\n\nAlso check  http://www.homebuyingguide.org/\n\nBE CAREFUL with the ARM loan.  If you plan on living in the property for more than 4 years, you could get into a bad situation if rates go up. (As they are expected to do.)  \n\nSample websites are\nhttp://www.ohfa.org/\nhttp://www.nyhomes.org/home/index.asp\nhttp://www.ihda.org/ViewPage.aspx?PageID=2\nhttp://www.calhfa.ca.gov/
