Mission-Ready Support for Military Members & Families Moving

Why Work With Me?

What Is a VA Loan?

 As a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer and certified Military Relocation Professional (MRP), I understand the stress of PCS moves, VA loan confusion, and finding the right home near base. I built this bundle to make your transition smooth, affordable, and anchored in community. 

What Is a VA Loan?

What Is a VA Loan?

 A VA loan is a mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for eligible service members, veterans, and surviving spouses, allowing them to purchase, build, or renovate a home with potentially no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI). These loans are issued by private lenders, but the VA's guaranty protects the lender, making it a valuable tool for homeownership that offers advantages like limited closing costs and the ability to prepay without penalty.  




Key Benefits

 

  • No Down Payment: For those who meet the requirements, a VA loan allows for 100% financing, meaning no down payment is typically required. 
  • No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Unlike conventional loans, VA loans do not require PMI, which can significantly lower the overall cost of homeownership. 
  • VA Funding Fee: The VA typically charges a funding fee to help cover the program's costs, though some veterans are exempt, particularly those with service-connected disabilities. 
  • Lender-Guaranteed: The VA guarantees a portion of the loan, which reduces risk for lenders and makes it easier for them to offer these loans to eligible individuals. 
  • Flexible Terms: VA loans may come with competitive interest rates, and they do not have prepayment penalties, allowing you to pay off the loan early without extra fees. 
  • Lifetime Benefit: The VA home loan benefit can be used multiple times throughout a veteran's lifetime.
