Maureen Martin, NMLS #247664, a San Diego mortgage broker at HomePlus Mortgage, helps veterans, active-duty service members and eligible surviving spouses across San Diego County compare VA home loans, VA refinances and VA IRRRLs.

VA Purchases, VA Refinances and VA IRRRLs

A San Diego VA loan may allow eligible borrowers with full entitlement to purchase with no down payment and no monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI). Requirements apply: borrowers must establish eligibility and meet credit, income and property standards, and closing costs and a VA funding fee typically apply unless the borrower is exempt.

VA refinance options include:

  1. VA IRRRL: a VA-to-VA refinance that does not take cash out. It may help lower an interest rate or convert an adjustable rate to a fixed rate. IRRRLs must meet VA seasoning, recoupment and net tangible benefit requirements.

  2. VA cash-out refinance: a refinance that may let eligible homeowners access equity for home improvements or debt consolidation, subject to VA and lender requirements.

"San Diego has a large military community, and many VA borrowers don't know every option their benefit offers," said Maureen Martin. "My job is to explain the choices in plain language, compare programs, and help each borrower decide what makes sense for them."

Full Range of San Diego Mortgage Services

  1. Beyond VA financing, Maureen Martin offers:

  2. Home purchase loans for first-time and move-up buyers

  3. Conventional and FHA loans

  4. Rate-and-term and cash-out refinancing

  5. Debt consolidation loans also known as HELOCs or second mortgages for homeowners who may want to access available equity while keeping an existing low-rate first mortgage in place.

  6. Reverse mortgages, including HECMs for eligible homeowners age 62 and older, as well as proprietary reverse mortgage options that may be available to eligible borrowers as young as age 55. For HECMs, no monthly principal and interest payment is generally required, but borrowers must continue to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance, maintain the home and meet other loan obligations. The home must be the primary residence, HUD-approved counseling is required, and the loan balance generally grows over time. Proprietary reverse mortgage program requirements vary by lender and product.

Oct 9, 2026

From glass skin and barely-there makeup to rosy cheeks, glossy lips and the perfect aegyo-sal, Korean and Asian beauty trends continue to influence beauty routines. The good news is that shoppers do not have to fly to Seoul or wait for their next online haul to get their hands on popular products.

Whether restocking a holy grail product or exploring the latest item gaining attention on social media, shoppers can find their beauty favorites at Watsons' more than 1,220 stores nationwide or through the Watsons App. From glass skin to an everyday glow Part of K-beauty's appeal lies in its ingredients, which target specific skin concerns. For smoother, clearer-looking skin, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) help exfoliate dead skin cells and clear buildup. Products from Beauty of Joseon and Oxecure offer options for these concerns. Bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient often used as an alternative to retinol, may also help improve the appearance of skin texture and fine lines. Products from Eqqualberry, Some By Mi and Deoproce feature this ingredient. For a hydrated K-beauty glow, hyaluronic acid helps attract and retain moisture and can be found in products from Torriden, ISOI and COSRX. Meanwhile, soothing ingredients such as centella asiatica, commonly known as cica, are featured in products from Dr.G, Round Lab and SKIN1004, making them options for those with sensitive or stressed skin. For those looking to brighten their complexion, vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of dullness and uneven skin tone. Options are available from Sola, Dear Klairs and iWhite Korea. Another ingredient gaining attention in K-beauty is PDRN, which is featured in products from Biodance, Genabelle and Anua. It is used in formulations marketed toward smoother, revitalized-looking skin. Daily sun protection also remains an essential part of any beauty routine. Shoppers can explore sunscreen options from Bioré and Beauty of Joseon. “K-beauty has changed the way many Filipinos discover and enjoy beauty. It's no longer just about following a trend; it's about finding products and routines that fit naturally into their everyday lives. At Watsons, we want to make that discovery easier by bringing the brands and products our customers are excited about closer to them, whether they're shopping in-store or online,” said Sharon Decapia, senior assistant vice president for marketing communications, public relations and sustainability at Watsons Philippines.
