Requirements for VA Loans
The most popular feature of a Veteran’s Administration (VA) home loan is that it offers 100% financing. Usually, a first time home buyer would be required to put down at least 3.5% – 5% of the purchase price of their new home, but this is not a requirement in the case of a VA loan.
In addition, most first time home buyer programs would require costly mortgage insurance, typically known as MI, but this is also a waived requirement for VA mortgages. VA home loans also offer very competitive interest rates, lower credit eligibility requirements and special fee waiver provisions for disabled veterans. Additionally, there is a program that allows a VA loan to include funding the closing costs if approved by the seller.
The VA Mortgage Guarantee Program is administered by the Department of Veteran Affairs and was originally started in 1944 as a way to offset some of the emotional and economic issues for returning World War II service veterans.
