VA Loans
What is a VA Loan?
VA home loans are a type of mortgage that’s guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and offered through private mortgage lenders.
As typically the mortgage option for active duty military personnel or eligible veterans, the VA Loan program was originally started during World War II to provide affordable housing to returning U.S. service members, veterans, surviving spouses, and their families. The VA designates specific regions around the country as housing credit shortage areas, usually small cities or towns located outside of larger cities. For those looking to purchase a home, a VA Loan offers better long-term financing options and more favorable repayment terms than a conventional mortgage. Jumbo VA Loans are also available.
As an eligible borrower, a VA loan can be used to purchase, build, repair, retain, or adapt a home to fit your unique needs. Another significant advantage of VA Loans is that they require no private mortgage insurance (PMI) nor a 20% down payment.
Once you qualify, a VA Loan includes:
- No down payment is required
- You do not have to pay private mortgage insurance
- Fixed or adjustable rate terms are available
- Refinance up to 100% of your existing home
