What are VA Loans?

A VA loan is a mortgage loan in the United States guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, available to eligible veterans and their surviving spouses. It offers significant benefits such as no down payment, no private mortgage insurance, and competitive interest rates. Additionally, VA loans can be reused, come with limited closing costs, and don’t require a prepayment penalty.

Are you looking to buy a primary residence as an eligible service member, veteran, or qualifying surviving spouse? A VA loan could help get you your home at a competitive interest rate with no money down.
