Veterans, Surviving Spouses, Active-Duty Military Members: VA loans are specifically designed for those who have served in the military, making homeownership more accessible.
Benefits:
Flexible Down Payment:
You can buy a home without
needing to pay anything upfront,
making it easier to get into a
home without having to save for a
large down payment.
No Monthly Mortgage Insurance:
Unlike many other loans, VA loans
do not require private mortgage
insurance, which means lower
monthly payments.
Lower Interest Rates:
VA loans often come with
competitive interest rates, helping
to keep your monthly payments
more affordable.
Lenient on Credit Scores:
VA loans are designed to help
veterans and active-duty military
members, so they can be
approved even with lower credit
scores or a less-than-perfect
credit history.
Help with Closing Costs:
VA loans allow sellers to
cover closing costs. Sellers
can contribute up to 4% of
the property’s value toward
concessions, with no limit on
contributions for costs like
appraisals, credit reports,
and loan origination fees.
Things to Keep in Mind:
Eligibility:
VA loans are exclusively for
veterans, surviving spouses,
and active-duty military
members. You’ll need to provide
documentation of your
service to qualify.
Upfront Fee:
While there’s no down payment,
there is a one-time funding fee
that can be added to your loan
amount. This fee helps support
the program and can be rolled
into the total loan cost instead of
paid upfront.
