WHAT IS A VA LOAN?

VA Loan

The VA loan is a $0 down mortgage option available to Veterans, Service Members and select military spouses. VA loans are issued by mortgage companies or banks and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs otherwise known as the VA. The VA Home Loan was created in 1944 by the United States government to help returning service members purchase homes without needing a down payment. This benefit program has guaranteed more than 24 million VA loans helping veterans, active duty military members and their families purchase and refinance their homes.
