Shop for Low VA Mortgage Rates

For eligible veterans and active duty military personnel a VA mortgage loan can be a wonderful benefit to take advantage of. The Department of Veterans Affairs guarantees these loans, which can finance as much as 100% of the value of the property, ensuring low rates and easier qualification guidelines than with conventional loans.

Benefits of a VA Loan

In addition to the excellent VA mortgage rates, and no money down option there are a number of advantages to obtaining a VA home loan, such as:

• Many VA loans are assumable, meaning if you sell your home the new owners can take over your mortgage rather than applying for a new loan. This is extremely attractive to many buyers and will set your property apart from others for sale.
• Those with less than perfect credit can sometimes qualify for a VA home loan even if they would not qualify for most conventional loans.
• A VA mortgage can allow you to purchase a home with very little initial out of pocket expenses. Up to 100% of the property value can be financed, and so can the VA funding fee. Closing costs are permitted to be covered by gift funds or paid by the seller.
• No private mortgage insurance is required either, which conventional borrowers must pay monthly unless they put down a minimum of 20% of the loan amount.
• If you already hold a VA mortgage and would like to take advantage of today's low VA mortgage rates a streamlined refinance can be considerably simpler, less time consuming, and less expensive than a conventional refinance. There are no prepayment penalties and with streamlined refinancing, no additional underwriting is required. Request a quote now to see what the rates are today and what you could be saving.
