VA Loan

What is a VA Mortgage Loan?

A VA mortgage loan (known as a Veterans Administration home loan) is one of the most exclusive benefits for those who have served or are presently serving in the U.S. Military. Based on your Certificate of Eligibility, you can use a VA loan to purchase or refinance a home that you occupancy without having to make a down payment. The Veterans Administration backs the VA loan only for veterans, and there is no private mortgage insurance (PMI) requirement.
