VA Loan information
VA loans offer the following important advantages over most conventional
loans:
- Ensure that all veterans are given an equal opportunity to buy
homes with VA assistance, without regard to their race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin.
- No downpayment (unless required by the lender, the purchase
price is more than the reasonable value of the property as determined
by VA, or the loan is made with graduated payment features);
- A negotiable fixed interest rate competitive with conventional
mortgage interest rates;
- The buyer is informed of the estimated reasonable value of the
property;
- Limitations on closing costs;
- An assumable mortgage. However, for loans closed on or after
March 1, 1988, the assumption must be approved in advance by the
lender or VA. Generally, this involves a review of the creditworthiness
of the purchaser (ability and willingness to make the mortgage
payments). Be sure to see the section entitled "Loan Repayment
Terms";
- Long amortization (repayment) terms:
- Right to prepay without penalty (lenders may require that any
partial prepayments be in the amount of at least 1 monthly installment
of principal or $100, whichever is less);
- For houses inspected by VA during construction, a warranty from
the builder and VA assistance in trying to obtain the builder's
cooperation in correcting any justified construction complaint.
- Forbearance (leniency) extended to worthy VA homeowners experiencing
temporary financial difficulty.
- VA CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE HOUSE YOU BUY, WHETHER IT IS NEW
OR PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED, WILL BE FREE OF DEFECTS. The VA appraisal
is NOT intended to be and "inspection" of the property. If you
have any doubts about the condition of the house, it is in your
best interest to seek expert advice BEFORE you legally commit yourself
in a purchase agreement. Most sellers will permit you, at your
expense, to arrange for an inspection by a qualified residential
inspection service and negotiate with you concerning repairs to
be included in the purchase agreement. Such action can prevent
later problems, disagreements and disappointments. Remember, VA
guarantees only the loan, NOT the condition of the property. It
is your responsibility to be an informed buyer and assure yourself
that what you are buying is satisfactory to you in all respects.
- If you have a home built, VA cannot compel the builder to correct
construction defects or otherwise live up to the contract. VA authority
is limited to suspension of the builder from participation in the
VA Loan Guaranty program.
- VA cannot guarantee that you are making a good investment, or
that you can resell the house at the price you paid.
- VA does not have authority to provide you with legal services.
To get a VA loan, the law requires that:
- You must be an eligible veteran who has available home loan
entitlement (except in the case of an interest rate reduction refinancing
loan );
- The loan must be for an eligible purpose;
- You must occupy or intend to occupy the property as your home
within a reasonable period of time after closing the loan;
- You must have enough income to meet the new mortgage payments
on the loan, cover the costs of owning a home, take care of other
obligations and expenses, and still have enough income left over
for family support (a spouse's income is considered in the same
manner as the veteran's); and
- You must have a good credit record.

of Veterans Affairs.
