Military homebuyers who are looking to move into a home now can take advantage of the VA loan program to do so immediately with no down payment.

This affordable home loan program is available exclusively to veterans, active-duty service members and eligible surviving spouses. While zero down payment is probably the program’s most well-known feature, it is just one of the many benefits which make VA loans an exceptional opportunity.

What Are VA Loans?

Borrowers who are eligible for VA mortgages are able to take out home financing which is backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

With this insurance, VA mortgages are an attractive, low risk form of financing which appeals not just the borrowers, but also to lenders. This means that lenders may accept lower credit scores while still offering affordable mortgage rates.

Interest rates on VA mortgages in California are some of the most affordable.

Closing costs are typically in the 1-3% range, if not covered by the seller.

For qualified disabled veterans, the funding fee is waived.

Paying off a VA mortgage early does not result in a prepayment penalty.

Choosing not to put a down payment on a home you are financing with a VA loan will not necessitate purchasing private mortgage insurance (PMI).

Your bargaining power with a VA mortgage tends to be high even when your credit score and DTI ratio are not ideal.

As with other types of mortgages, VA loans can be used for far more than just home purchase. You can also take out a VA mortgage for construction, repairs, upgrades or refinancing.
