Benefits Of A VA Loan

• No Down Payment
• No Monthly Mortgage Insurance Premiums
• No Reserve Requirements – Conforming loan limit 1 unit only (Own no other real estate)
• 100% Gift Funds Allowed
• Ability to finance the funding fee (plus reduced funding fee depending on down payment, and the exemptions for veterans receiving compensation)
• Fully Assumable to qualified borrowers
• Low Interest Rates

Purchase Home With $0 Down

• A VA mortgage is one of the last loan programs available, which allows a borrower to obtain purchase financing up to 100% of the homes value with $0 down.
• Over the past few years, lending institutions have tightened their guidelines on conventional loans.  Due to these tighter restrictions, conventional financing requires a higher down payment then in years past.  In many cases, due to a borrower’s less than perfect credit, conventional financing requires a 10% – 20% down payment, pushing home ownership out of the affordability range for many potential buyers.

• $0 down can save you a lot.  Conventional loans will require a minimum of 5% down, and up to as much as 10% – 20% down in most cases.  Check out the chart below to see how much you potentially could save from using a VA loan vs. a Conventional loan.

  Loan Amount	5% Down	10% Down	20% Down
  $150,000	$7,500	$15,000	$30,000
  $250,000	$12,500	$25,000	$50,000
  $350,000	$17,500	$35,000	$70,000
  $450,000	$22,500	$45,000	$90,000

   

  Lower Your Monthly Payment
  A VA loan has two main benefits that can significantly lower your monthly payment.

  • On a VA loan, private mortgage insurance (PMI) is NOT required.  On Conventional financing, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) adds an additional monthly expense to your monthly payment, and is required if the borrower finances more than 80% of the appraised value.
  • Interest rates on a VA loan are typically 0.50% – 1.00% lower than a conventional loan.  The combination of monthly PMI savings and a lower interest rate can significantly lower your monthly payment.

  Easier Qualifying Guidelines
  The qualification standards are more flexible for a VA loan.
  

  • A VA loan is insured by the government through a guarantee, which protects lenders against loss in the event of foreclosure, up to the amount of the guaranty (25% of the Freddie Mac Conforming loan limit).  This is what allows a veteran more favorable financing terms on a VA loan vs. a Conventional loan.
