VA
Home Loans
VA
home loans are for those who have served in the United States military,
either on active duty or reserve. The Veterans Administration
provides VA home loans at competitive interest rates, often with 100%
financing and no down payment.
Other
benefits of VA home loans are that there is no set maximum loan amount,
borrowers are not required to have private mortgage insurance, there are
no penalties if the loan is paid off early and qualification is often
easier than for conventional mortgages.
Drawbacks
for VA home loans are that sellers are often asked to pay some of the
closing costs, there is a 2% funding fee payable upon closing and the loan
process often takes longer than it does with regular mortgages.
VA
home loans are an excellent way to acquire a 1st or 2nd home for those who
have served our nation proudly in the military.
