VA loan benefits are better than ever
The VA has recently announced additional benefits for veterans seeking a home loan, making the program even better.
New VA Loan Benefits Include:
- Higher Loan Amounts with NO Down Payment – Veterans will have greater access when using their no-down payment home loan benefit. The VA no longer follows conventional loan limits and will now allow all loan sizes. Previously loans over the conventional loan limit required a small down payment of about 5%.
- Purple Heart – If you are an active duty Service member who has earned a Purple Heart, your funding fee can be waived if you close on your home while still serving on active duty.
- Native American Direct Loan – The new law removes the loan limit of $80,000 for Veterans using their entitlement for a VA Native American Direct loan to build or purchase a home on Federal trust land. Eliminating the loan limit enhances access to home loan benefits for Native American Veterans.
Additional benefits of a VA Home Loan:
- No first-time homebuyer education requirements ever
- No income limits
- No mortgage insurance ever – regardless of down payment size
- We will consider credit scores as low as 580
- No origination fee option (up to 1% of loan amount)
- No appraisal fee on VA streamline refinances (IRRRL Loan)
