VA Loans

VA Home Loans 

VA Guaranteed Home Loans are made by private lenders and the VA, ie the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs  guarantees them for eligible veterans to purchase a home, Single Family, Condominiums, and 2-4 unit multi family homes.  The VA guaranty protects the lender against loss if the Veteran fails to repay the loan.   No down payment is required on most VA guaranteed home loans and the veteran borrower usually receives a very competitive interest rate compared with other loans.

Here are some of the benefits with VA loans:

  • Competitive fixed interest rates
  • Zero down payment required – up to $2 million dollars for qualified Veterans with full VA Entitlement available.
  • Closing costs are typically lower than conventional or FHA Loans
  • NO PMI
  • No Prepayment Penalties
  • VA Loans are assumable to qualified Veterans – makes your home more saleable
  • VA Jumbo Loans allow higher 100% financing for VA Loans up to $2m
  • VA Jumbo Loan amounts up to $2m for Veterans with a partial charge against VA Entitlement available with a down payment to meet the VA Guarantee calculations.

VA Loans do not require mortgage insurance, however the VA requires a funding fee to issue a guarantee to a private lender against future VA borrower default on a mortgage.

The VA Funding Fee can be Financed into the loan (typical) or paid in cash by the buyer or seller.

VA loans can be used to buy a home, refinance your home, consolidate debts, or just lower your interest rate.
