"To provide the necessary tools to enable our Servicemembers and Veterans to achieve homeownership and build stable, thriving lives in their communities."
Military/Veteran Mission Statement
As an organization, loanDepot is dedicated to being a vital partner to our Active-Duty Military Personnel, Guard/Reserves, and Veterans on their journey to homeownership. By offering our consultative expertise, comprehensive educational resources, vigorous advocacy, and steadfast community support, we create a pathway for their success.
According to a 2024 report* from The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University, our country’s Servicemembers, Veterans and their families face a number of well-known challenges related to homeownership. These include:
1. FINANCIAL READINESS
Financial readiness can directly impact homeownership by influencing credit scores, saving capacity, debt management, and loan access, ensuring buyers can afford long-term costs.
2. RELOCATION HOUSING
Frequent PCS moves and transitioning from military to civilian careers can disrupt financial stability, savings, and employment continuity, complicating loan approval and achieving homeownership.
3. FAMILY READINESS
Family readiness could be a crucial element to homeownership for some; instability in childcare, finances, and relationships can impact saving, decision-making, and managing homeownership's financial and emotional demands.
4. Employment
Military spouse employment challenges can affect income stability, loan eligibility, and savings, making securing financing and maintaining long-term homeownership harder.
loanDepot has a proud history of serving those who serve the country, and we are resolute in our commitment to helping address these barriers. We believe our holistic approach helps empower our Servicemembers and Veterans to take control of their homeownership journey.
