Chula Vista is a great place to buy a home if you’re in the Military in San Diego. It’s an easy commute from some of the Military Bases here. If you’re a Marine or a Sailor stationed at one of the bases in Central and South Bay San Diego then Chula Vista Real Estate is something you may want to consider.
Your BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) combined with your VA Home Buying Loan benefit gives you an opportunity to start to build wealth by buying a home instead of renting.
We will only be here a few years.
*How long will you be at your next duty stations? If you do not buy now when will you buy?
Homes in Chula Vista and San Diego are so expensive.
*So is renting.
Your BAH in San Diego is higher than other places
*Offsets your expenses.
If you’re stationed in San Diego County then buying a home or condo with your VA Loan can make great sense for you. You can live in the property while you’re stationed here and then rent it out and have the renter pay off your mortgage over time. This will give you an investment property generating income for you in your retirement. You can also sell the home when you get orders and take any equity from the sale and use it to put money down on your next home at your next duty station. Depending on the real estate market when you go to sell there may be the possibility that you will not get equity out of the home and it may actually cost you money to sell it. This all depends on what you purchased your home for and what you sell it for. Realistic expectations on home ownership are essential.
That’s why you should meet with us to go over the details of buying a home or condo in Chula Vista.
We can also recommend a lender that can help you with a VA Loan. Getting pre-qualified is the first step.

Helped me buy a home 2015.
Dawn was amazing and went above and beyond to find our family the perfect home. I highly recommend her she has a lot of experience in the industry and really listens to her clients needs.
Helped me buy a home 2015.
Dawn excels in her craft because of her extensive knowledge in real estate and more importantly, her passion, commitment, and drive to helping her customers. I'm very impressed with Dawn's customer service and her genuine nature. Dawn is a true professional and displays those qualities by being sincere, honest, truthful, loyal, open, and candid. She listens first.....gives opinion second......takes action.......and continually repeats the cycle until you're at total satisfaction. It was a pleasure working with Dawn and would highly recommend her to my family, friends and anyone looking for a real estate guru.
Sold a Single Family home in 2012.
Dawn is by far the best real estate professional I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Dawn brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise, but more importantly an ‘instinct’ that is very rare in the real estate business. Dawn has helped me buy and sell homes on multiple occasions, found investment opportunities, placed tenants, and drove an overall relationship where your best interests as a client are her top priorities. Dawn has a top-to-bottom understanding of the entire real estate business, and when finding a real estate professional you are hiring someone that you can trust to help you make decisions. Dawn helps you make these calls – and from personal experience she’s guided the best possible outcome in every real estate need I’ve had. I highly recommend working with Dawn Lewis if you have the opportunity. I’ve worked with dozens of others “top” agents in many markets and no one comes close to Dawn’s capabilities.

We cannot say enough great things about Dawn Lewis. Dawn went above and beyond our expectations. She always made us feel like we were her top priority, was quick to respond to emails, and clearly brought a wealth of knowledge to the process. Dawn also has an extremely helpful assistant, Jennifer who made sure that we were taken care of throughout the buying process. Dawn even helped us out after we purchased our home with issues that were unrelated to her. She will be our real estate agent for years and years to come. Would highly recommend to friends & family in a heartbeat.
Helped me buy a home 2015.
I purchased a condo that Dawn helped me find - completing the entire purchase online. This was an investment for my granddaughter to live in while going to school. I shipped furniture to furnish this two bedroom condo in a pod. Dawn and her staff supervised the delivery and unloading and arranged for someone to unpack and put everything in its place including hanging pictures and making beds. Dawn and her staff also assisted in a short term rental until my granddaughter arrived. Throughout the time we worked together she was always pleasant, cooperative, competent, and knowledgeable. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who selling or buying in the San Diego area.
