What Are VA Home Loans?

VA Home Loans were introduced to help Veterans finance the purchase of a home. It is worth noting that a VA Loan is not provided by VA, the actual loan is provided by a third party lending institute, such as a bank. mortgage company, private lender etc. To get a loan you apply to the lender and if approved VA guarantees the loan. The guarantee protects the lending institute if the owner fails to pay. A VA home loan may also provide you with other benefits, for example most loans will not require a down payment.

Are You Eligible For VA Loans?

In order to receive a VA Loan you must be an eligible veteran of the Navy, Army, Air Force or Coast Guard. To determine if you are eligible you must apply for a certificate of eligibility. Once a certificate has been issued you can then proceed with the normal home purchase process.
