VA Veteran Affairs Mortgage Loan Information For Real Estate Buyers
VA Loans specific for Veteran’s are an amazing opportunity for real estate buyers purchasing a new home with $0 down and receiving an amazing interest rate.
Broken down into two basic types of loans with two options for each to customize specifically for your requirements and payment.
- Fixed Rate Mortgage options for 30 year or 15 Year loans where home buyers can determine exactly how much to pay each month for the duration of the loan but pay a premium for predictability as the Fixed Rate Mortgage will typically cost more over the life of the balance.
- Adjustable Rate Mortgage options where interest rates are lower, easier to borrow and help home buyers afford more but could have the opportunity to create a financial hardship if the new monthly payment rises above the budget of the home owner.
