A VA loan is a government-backed mortgage option available to Veterans, service members, and surviving spouses.
VA home loans offer competitive interest rates and terms and can be used to purchase various types of properties, including single-family homes, condominiums, multi-unit properties, manufactured houses, or new constructions.
One of the significant benefits of VA loans is that eligible Veterans can buy a home without making a down payment. This feature has been a key aspect of the VA loan program. Unlike many other loan types that require a down payment of at least 3% or more, VA loans allow qualified Veterans to purchase a home without any down payment requirement.
