Thank you, dear veterans, for your valor, strength, service, and dedication to protect us and keep us safe.
Veterans sacrifice a lot to protect the country. And one way to show appreciation to them and their families is to make sure they know about the mortgage loan that's available to them: the Veterans Affairs loans by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Here are the top four advantages of VA loans:
No down payment - This is the biggest advantage of the loan program. Qualified veterans can purchase a home without making a down payment, no matter how much home they're buying.
Don't require private mortgage insurance (PMI) - Unlike other loans that require 20 percent PMI, VA loans do not, allowing military borrowers to save on their monthly mortgage payments.
Limits on closing costs and fees - VA loans actually limit the loan-related costs qualified home buyers can be charged, making home ownership more affordable.
A lifetime benefit - There's no expiration to this program, and veterans who qualify for a VA loan can use it over and over again.
