VA Loans
The VA Loan program was designed to help Service members, Veterans, and eligible surviving spouses become homeowners. As part of VA's mission to serve, VA provide a home loan guaranty benefit and other housing-related programs to help buy, build, repair, retain, or adapt a home for your own personal occupancy.
VA Home Loans are provided by private lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies. VA guarantees a portion of the loan, enabling the lender to provide you with more favorable terms.
The VA program was created by the original G.I. Bill (Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944). The VA-Guaranteed Home Loan program has helped generations of Veterans, Service members, and their families enjoy the dream of home ownership and the opportunity to retain their homes in times of temporary financial hardship.
The VA home loan guaranty is an agreement that VA will reimburse a lender (such as banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, etc.) in the event of loss due to foreclosure. This guaranty takes the place of the borrower's down payment.
Active-duty service members and Veterans with discharges other than dishonorable, National Guard and Reserve service members and Veterans with an honorable discharge, certain eligible spouses, and other uniformed service personnel may be eligible for VA home loan guaranty benefits.
