If you’re a military veteran interested in purchasing your own home, you’re probably going to need a mortgage. Before applying for a conventional mortgage loan, you should be aware of the VA home loan option. The VA home loan can provide you with the financial backing you need to buy a home, build a home, refinance an existing home or even improve a home you already own.
Why Choose A VA Loan?VA Loans Have Competitive RatesThe current rate for VA loans can be as low as six percent depending on your lender, which is highly competitive in today’s market. It would be very difficult for you to get such a rate through conventional means unless you have a very high credit rating or are choosing some kind of Adjustable or Variable rate.
VA Loans Have Favorable TermsWith most VA loans, you can borrow up to 100 percent of the purchase price without private mortgage insurance and get your mortgage without any down payment, as opposed to conventional loans where you may be required to put down 20 percent of the purchase price of your home. You’ll also face lower closing costs and no prepayment penalties.
VA Loans Are Supported By The VAWhen you assume a VA loan, you are taking on a mortgage supported by the Veterans Administration, who will do everything possible to make sure that you do not lose your home. If you find yourself with financial difficulties and unable to make regular payments, the VA can help you work out a plan to keep your mortgage so that your home does not go into foreclosure.
Not everyone is ready to own his or her own home, but if you are and you are a veteran, give serious consideration to getting a VA home loan. A VA home loan can mean more borrowing power to get the home you want at the rate you need.
