The Military Money Show is supported by Navy Federal Credit Union. Navy Fed is helping military members and their families tackle homeownership
during these high-interest rate times with their new no-refi rate drop. The way it works is if you buy a home now and mortgage rates drop later, you could lower your rate by paying a low fee instead of refinancing and paying thousands in closing costs. You can learn more at navyfederal.org.
