What is a VA loan?

Veterans Affairs mortgages — also called VA loans — are designed to make it easier for veterans, reservists and surviving military spouses to buy a home. VA home loans are made through qualified lenders and backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The benefits and features of choosing a VA Loan.

Because VA loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, these loans have many notable and unique features that you won’t want to miss out on, including:

  • No down payment required
  • No cash reserve required
  • No application fee
  • No monthly mortgage insurance premiums
  • Seller can pay off buyers debt to qualify

Please keep in mind that a VA funding fee is required on some VA loans, but it can be financed.
