VA Loan Network Editorial Team
1. Our Commitment to E-E-A-T and Transparency
VA Loan Network is a Veteran owned, VA-only comparison network. We are not a lender. Our editorial work exists to help Veterans and Military families understand VA loans, PCS realities, and homeownership decisions with confidence.
Mission Statement: To provide the most accurate, trustworthy, and actionable information on VA loans and Military life for Veterans and their families.
Trust Signals: Our editorial standards are built on Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. We pair lived Military experience and professional lending credentials with rigorous sourcing, expert review, and a formal workflow before anything is published.
Non-Solicitation: All content on this site is educational and informational. It is not financial advice, a guarantee of approval or rate, nor a solicitation for a specific financial product. Always evaluate your personal situation and consult directly with a qualified professional before making decisions.
For related standards, see our Publishing Principles and Editorial Ethics Policy.
2. Content Creation and Authorship
Two Editorial Paths
Financial and Loan Content: Articles covering VA loan mechanics, eligibility, underwriting, rates, fees, credit, funding fee scenarios, and regulatory rules are authored, co-authored, or developed under the direct guidance of licensed mortgage professionals. Every financial page undergoes credentialed review before publication.
Informational and Base Guides: Military base pages, local city and neighborhood guides, PCS resources, and general how-to content are produced by our dedicated editorial team. We verify information against primary government and official Military sources and present it in plain language with clear next steps.
Primary Authors
Our content is written by staff writers, industry freelancers with subject-matter expertise, and internal editors with deep familiarity in VA lending and Military life. When a page involves lending rules, calculations, or regulatory interpretations, a licensed reviewer validates the accuracy and compliance of the content before it goes live.
Authorship Policy
- Financial Content: Authored or heavily guided by licensed personnel. Every page is reviewed by a credentialed Senior Loan Officer prior to publication and during scheduled updates.
- Informational Content: Created by the VA Loan Network Editorial Team with primary reliance on official .gov and .mil sources, plus state, county, or base-level resources when relevant.
- The Editorial Team: Meet our contributors and leadership on our About Us and team profile pages, including Levi Rodgers and Kenneth Jay Schwartz.
Use of Automation and AI
We may use automation or AI-assisted tools for research, drafting, or formatting. Human editors and licensed reviewers remain responsible for every fact, example, and conclusion. We do not publish AI output without full human review.
3. The Multi-Layered Review Process
Every page goes through structured checkpoints. The reviewer’s role and credential determine the gate they own and the checks they perform. Financial content is always validated by a licensed reviewer before publication.
| Content Type | Reviewer’s Role & Credential | Key Checks Performed |
|---|---|---|
| Financial and Loan Pages | Senior Loan Officer Kenneth Jay Schwartz, NMLS 1001095 Reviewer Bio | Verify NMLS |
Regulatory alignment, accuracy of figures and terms, adherence to VA guidelines, clarity of risks and assumptions, validation of calculators and examples, and ensuring plain-English clarity. |

Important: All financial content is reviewed by an NMLS-licensed professional—specifically Senior Loan Officer Kenneth Jay Schwartz, NMLS 1001095—prior to publication and during scheduled updates.
4. Data Sourcing and Updates
Source Citations
We rely on primary sources whenever possible. We cite or link to authoritative materials from the Department of Veterans Affairs, FHFA, CFPB, HUD, and official Military installations. Our foundational guidance is governed by the VA Loan Guaranty Service and other federal programs that regulate VA loans.
Update Frequency
- Financial Content: Reviewed and updated at least quarterly, and immediately after major changes affecting VA rules, fees, limits, or underwriting.
- Military Base & Local Guides: Reviewed annually, with interim updates when contact details or base services change.
“Last Updated” and “Last Reviewed” Labels
All articles display a “Last Updated” or “Last Reviewed” date near the top so readers can assess recency. When a page is materially revised, the date is refreshed and a short note may be added to explain the change.
5. Correction and Feedback Policy
How to Report an Error
If you spot an error, outdated detail, or broken link, email corrections@valoannetwork.com with:
