VA Loans vs. Other Loans

It's true that VA Loans are an easy way for Veterans to save money when financing a home loan. When compared to conventional loans, VA Loans offer excellent loan rates and require no monthly mortgage insurance. It is also much easier to qualify for a VA Loan than a conventional loan. All Veterans who are looking to purchase a home should exercise their VA Benefits with a VA Loan.

Veteran Loans require zero money down when purchasing a home and are currently guaranteed for loan amounts up to $729,000. And, if you have bad credit, VA Loans can actually save you money by offering you a lower loan rate when compared to conventional lending instruments.

Interest Rate Choices

Veterans now have their choice of either an adjustable rate or a fixed rate VA Mortgage. Fixed rate loans allow you to borrow a set amount of money over a set time period at a single interest rate. Adjustable rate mortgages, or ARM's, allow you to adjust your interest rates after a given time period (usually 3 years) if it is more favorable to do so.

To start taking advantage of all of the benefits VA Loans have to offer, you may start the pre-qualification process without a credit check. Just start the short form below.

Funding Fees

Depending on your Veteran status, the funding fee required by the Department of Veteran Affairs varies between 0 - 3.3 percent of the total amount of the Veteran Loan. Veterans who were disabled 10% or more during active duty are not required to pay the funding fee. With a VA Loan, it is even possible to receive a loan for 100% of your home purchase and still have no monthly mortgage insurance.
