3- For veterans, the dream of home ownership may
not be that far away.
4- Getting established into your own home can be a
great way to move back into civilian life, and
there are excellent resources out there that help
you do just that.
5- In particular, the U.S. provides a loan program
that dates back to 1944.
6- The "VA Loan," as it's typically called, provides
a unique process by which veterans can get home
funding from a qualified lender.
7- These loans tend to come with lower rates and
more palatable terms, and they're designed to
reflect the government's commitment to people
who have served.
8- REDUCED INTEREST RATES FOR VA LOANS
9- VA loan rates are subject to change, just as
typical mortgage rates will, but they typically
offer a discount over standard mortgage rates.
10- How much of a discount one gets will depend upon
the person's lender and his or her own personal
credit score.
11- The typical discount is about 15. While a
standard 30-year loan would come it at 3.35, a
standard VA30-year mortgage would come in at
3.20.
12- While this critical difference might not seem
like much, it can add up to thousands of
dollars in savings over the course of 30 years.
13- NO REQUIREMENT FOR MORTGAGE INSURANCE
14- Any person who has ever purchased a home can tell
you that much of the cost comesnot just from the
interest rate itself but from all the associated
fees and requirements that come with it.
15- If you purchase a home without the assistance of
the VA, you will be required to have private
mortgage insurance.
- This can drive the cost of your loan even higher.
16- If you do have the assistance of a VA loan, there
is no requirement that you get this sort of
insurance.
17- The government insures the loan on your behalf,
allowing you to avoid these extra expenses.
18- Though this does not bring down your interest
rate,it brings down the effective monthly cost
of your home.
19- LOWERED DOWN PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS
20- Generally, the mortgage interest rate you get
will depend heavily on how much money you can put
down on the home.
21- If you put down 25, for instance, you'll get a
lower rate than if you're are able only put down
5.
22- In some cases, the lender will not issue a loan
unless you're able to put close to 10 down on
the home.
23- Fortunately for people with
- VA loan assistance, the
- down payment requirements
- are greatly reduced.
24- You may be able to get a home without making a
down payment.
At the very least, you will have greatly reduced
requirements.
25- Most importantly, your interest rate will not
increase because of your lower down payment. This
can make it much easier to get into home
ownership.
26- VA loans allow people returning from the military
to purchase a home with the full credit and
confidenceof the federal government.
27- You'll be working with qualified lenders and some
of the government's guarantees allow you to pay
less on your rate and avoid the added costs that
sometimes pump up the price of buying a home.
28- It's an advantage for sure, and it allows the
average person to save money both up-front and
over the life of a 30-year mortgage.
