VA
A VA loan is a mortgage loan guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VA Home Loans are provided by private lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies. The VA guarantees a portion of the loan, enabling the lender to provide home buyers with more favorable terms.

- VA mortgage loans have less stringent credit requirements than conventional loans.
- If the house is later sold, the loan can be transferred to the new buyer.
