01 / LIVED EXPERIENCE

We know the benefit.
We know the weight of the decision.

Thomas McFadden is active duty and a licensed North Carolina broker. Together, Thomas and Sherie McFadden lead United Estates Advisory Group with a simple belief: military families deserve context, candor, and a plan—not another sales pitch.

PERSONAL VA EXPERIENCE

A VA deal shaped by preparation, leverage, and a contract that mattered.

$25K+ seller-completed repairs6 units across two VA purchasesBuyer-first negotiation strategy

In one multifamily purchase, Thomas negotiated seller-paid closing costs and more than $25,000 in repairs completed before closing to meet VA property requirements. When the appraisal identified required work and the seller pushed back, he relied on the signed agreement, stayed firm, and kept the transaction together.

His personal cash outlay was limited largely to deposits and inspections. Across two VA-financed multifamily purchases, Thomas acquired six units; one property was later sold at a profit approaching $200,000. He brings that same buyer-first mindset to clients: look for leverage, protect the terms, and prioritize the service member's outcome over the biggest possible commission.

Personal experience shared for education—not a promise of results. Seller concessions, repair requirements, loan terms, and cash needed at closing vary by transaction and are subject to the contract, appraisal, and lender approval.

04 / FIELD NOTES

Useful before
you are under contract.

Plain-language guidance for the questions military buyers and sellers often need answered sooner.

VA BUYING01

$0 down does not always mean $0 cash

Closing costs, inspections, due diligence, moving, and reserves deserve a place in the plan before you make an offer.

Talk it through →
SMART DUE DILIGENCE02

The appraisal and inspection do different jobs

One supports the lender’s collateral decision. The other helps you understand the home you may be responsible for.

Talk it through →
PCS DECISION03

Sell, rent, or hold? Start with the timeline

Equity, projected rent, maintenance, management, rate, and the cost of carrying two homes belong in the same conversation.
