VA Loans
A Superior Program to Recognize Our Heroes
VA Loans Benefits
A VA loan is insured by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and issued by VA-approved lenders. This government guaranteed loan encourages these approved lenders to lend with more flexible and lenient qualifying guidelines.
VA loans offer unmatched benefits to our heroes – the veterans active duty, and surviving spouses.
- 100% financing available*
- No mortgage insurance requirement
- Funding fee may be financed
Qualifying for a VA loan
Veterans, actively serving military personnel, and surviving spouses of veterans qualify for a VA loan with suitable credit, adequate income, and a valid Certificate of Eligibility.
First-Time Veteran Buyers
Veterans purchasing their first homes can qualify for more home thanks to no requirement for mortgage insurance. The VA does not require a down payment, and homebuyers can even purchase a home that needs repairs or remodeling and include the costs of those repairs into the VA loan, up to 103.15%.
Streamlined Refinancing for Veterans
The VA offers a Streamline Refinance to lower the interest rates for many veterans without having to re-qualify. The VA mortgage is an incredible program that honors our heroes. The amazing benefits to buyers or borrowers cannot be matched by any other loan program. Purchase a home with no money down, borrow 100% of the value of the home or more, qualify with lenient guidelines and avoid mortgage insurance requirements with a VA loan.
