Why a VA Loan?

Icon

No Down Payment

In many cases, your VA loan will fully finance your new home. With no down payment required and low closing costs, you can move into your home without a large payment upfront.

Icon

No Monthly Mortgage Insurance

A VA loan does not require monthly private mortgage insurance like most traditional mortgages. Whether you put down a large down payment or not, you will not have to pay PMI each month.

Icon

High Maximum Loan Amount

A VA loan allows you to purchase a home worth over $500,000 without an issue. In some states, this price is even higher. Check with your loan officer to find your county’s limit.

Icon

Government Guarantee

A VA loan comes backed with a guarantee from the federal government. If you are unable to make monthly payments, you may qualify for assistance from the VA.
