What You Need to Know
Make your VA and military benefits work for you
- No down payment option. Finance 100% of the purchase price with a VA loan.
- Qualifications guidelines. The VA has specific requirements for the VA loan product.
- No mortgage insurance costs. VA borrowers do not pay mortgage insurance, keeping your total costs lower. Other loans require this extra cost unless you make a larger down payment.
- BAQ. If you receive BAQ, you will always use your allowance to pay for some or all of your monthly payment.
- Flexible credit standards.
Choose from low-cost VA loan options
- Purchase or refinance. The VA home loan program is available to qualified borrowers who are first-time buyers, repeat buyers or planning to refinance.
- No pre-payment penalty. You are free to make extra payments at your convenience.
- Fixed or adjustable interest rates. VA loans offer fixed or adjustable rates as good as and sometimes better than conventional loans. With a fixed rate, your monthly payment (principal + interest) will not fluctuate making it easier for you to budget your monthly payment. With an adjustable rate, you can take advantage of a low rate for a fixed amount of time. This is especially beneficial if you are planning to be in your home for less than 7 years.
