FAQ

What exactly is the VA guarantee?

Despite the fact that the VA loan is a federal program, the government does not normally issue direct loans to Veterans. Instead, private lenders such as Veterans United Home Loans finance the loan, with the Department of Veterans Affairs acting as a guarantor. This guaranty protects the lender from an ultimate loss if the buyer defaults, providing an incentive for private lenders to offer the VA loan at a lower interest rate than alternative mortgage options.

Is a VA loan a viable option?

VA loans are widely regarded as the most powerful loan option on the market. They come with a slew of perks, including no down payment, no mortgage insurance, flexible and forgiving credit requirements, and the lowest average fixed interest rates in the industry. Every Veteran buyer's circumstance is unique, so discussing all of your loan alternatives with a home loan specialist can help you make the best financial decision possible.

Can I utilize a VA loan again if I've already used one?

Yes, this isn't a one-time deal. Once you've earned the VA loan benefit, you'll have it for life. You can re-use the VA loan as many times as you want, and you can even have more than one active VA loan at the same time. In the following section, you will learn more about VA loan eligibility.

How much is the closing cost of VA loans?

Depending on the size of your loan, you normally pay from 2% to 6% of VA loan closing charges. VA-approved creditors may never, however, charge more than 1% of their loan fees, including the origination, preparation of documents, underwriting, and other miscellaneous fees.

What is the necessary VA loan down payment?

Typically, qualified veterans do not have to pay down. However, if you have a VA loan in an outstanding house and you do not have sufficient rights to support the new loan guarantee you may need one.

Why Is Home Loan Pre-Approval Useful?

Home loans pre-approval gives you a clearer sense of the amount and type of loan you could be eligible for in advance. You can better plan and prepare financially to accomplish your homeownership objectives with this information. Once you have an understanding of your borrowing capacity and what sort of mortgage you can afford, you're more likely to know how much you can afford for a monthly mortgage. Knowing the budget is an important element of your search at home.

How Does Pre-Approval Work?

When receiving a pre-approval, you provide us an overview of your financial position (debt, income, and assets) and we will utilize this information to offer you an insight into the amount of your mortgage. It's that straightforward. Although the prerequisite differs from the application of a complete mortgage and does not guarantee that you are granted a loan, it is a huge instrument in the home buying process.
