PCS to Randolph AFB? Here’s What Military Spouses Need to Know About Buying a Home in Schertz, TX

So—your spouse got orders to Randolph AFB, and now your world’s spinning a bit faster. Between organizing the move, researching neighborhoods, and navigating VA loan info that feels like a foreign language… you might be wondering:

Where the heck do I even start?

As a fellow Veteran (and a Schertz local who actually grew up here), I’ve helped dozens of military families just like yours find their footing—and their home—right here in Schertz. So let’s break it down.

🏡 Why Schertz Is One of the Top Spots for Randolph AFB Families

If you want a military-friendly community where people get what it’s like to PCS, Schertz is it.

• Short commute: Schertz is about 10–15 minutes from Randolph AFB. That means less time driving, more time settling in.

• Military roots: So many folks in this area either served or have family who did. You’ll feel that small-town camaraderie right away.

• Wide range of homes: Whether you're looking for a starter home or something with more space (and maybe some land!), you’ll find it here—often with VA-loan-friendly pricing.

💡 Common VA Loan Questions (and Answers You Actually Understand)

Q: Can we use our VA loan if we already used it at a previous duty station?
A: Yep! The idea that you can only use it once is a big ol’ myth. VA loans are reusable, and I can help you walk through what that looks like based on your unique situation.

Q: I’m a disabled Veteran—does that impact our loan options?
A: Yes, in a good way. Disabled Veterans are eligible for several exemptions, including the VA funding fee. That can save you thousands. If you're not sure what your benefits include, I’ll break it down for you one-on-one.

Q: Is now a bad time to buy?
A: Not if you're VA eligible. With no down payment required and no private mortgage insurance (PMI), you’re already ahead of the game compared to many civilian buyers.
