Designed to offer long-term financing to American veterans, VA mortgage loans are issued by federally qualified lenders and are guaranteed by the U.S. Veterans Administration.
The VA determines eligibility and issues a certificate as proof to qualifying applicants. This certificate is required to be submitted to the mortgage lender of choice.
VA loan are sold into a GNMA (Government National Mortgage Association) pools for securitization and sale to the investing community.
It is generally easier to qualify for a VA loan than conventional loans.
Here's how it works:
100% financing without private mortgage insurance or 20% second mortgage.
A VA funding fee of 0 to 3.3% (this fee may be financed) of the loan amount is paid to the VA.
When purchasing a home, veterans may borrow up to 100% of the sales price or reasonable value of the home, whichever is less.
When refinancing a home, veterans may borrow up to 90% of reasonable value in order to refinance where state law allows.
