For 80 years, Veterans Affairs (VA) home loans have helped countless Veterans buy a home. But even though a lot of Veterans have access to this powerful program, the majority don\u2019t know about one of its core benefits.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Veterans United<\/em> only 3 in 10 Veterans<\/strong> are aware they may be able to buy a home with no down payment<\/strong> with a VA loan (see visual below<\/em>):<\/p>\n

$\"a$ <\/a>That means 7 out of every 10 Veterans could be missing out on a key homebuying advantage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important for Veterans, and anyone who cares about a Veteran, to be aware of this program. As Veterans United<\/em> explains, VA home loans:<\/p>\n

\u201c. . . come with a list of big-time benefits, including $0 down payment, no mortgage insurance, flexible and forgiving credit guidelines and the industry\u2019s lowest average fixed interest rates.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Benefits of VA Home Loans<\/strong><\/h4>\nThese loans are designed to make buying a home more achievable for those who have served. And, by extension, they also give their families the opportunity to plant roots and build equity<\/a> in a home of their own. Here are some of the biggest advantages for this type of loan according to the Department of Veterans Affairs<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n
Options for No Down Payment:<\/strong> One of the biggest perks is that many Veterans can buy a home with no down payment at all.<\/li>\n
Limited Closing Costs:<\/strong> With VA loans, there are limits on the types of closing costs Veterans have to pay. This helps keep more money in your pocket when you\u2019re finalizing your purchase.<\/li>\n
No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI):<\/strong> Unlike many other loan types, VA loans don\u2019t require PMI, even with lower down payments. This means lower monthly payments, which can add up to big savings over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you want to learn more, your best resource for all the options and advantages of VA loans is your team of expert real estate professionals, including a local agent and a trusted lender.<\/p>\n
