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 Loan Pros:

  • Probably the biggest benefit to homebuyers is being able purchase a home with as little as $0 down and no mortgage insurance!
  • 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.

VA Loan Cons:
