Va Mortgage Rates Still At All Time Lows
You will be able to apply for the loan if you served in the armed forces and have an honorable discharge. The advantages to this loan over a conventional loan are financial.
If you applied for a conventional loan most lenders require the borrower to pay ten to twenty percent of the purchase price of the home; also called a down payment.
If you apply for a loan amount of two hundred thousand dollars you might have to pay up front twenty to forty thousand dollars. This is not including the closing costs which depends on the escrow agreement.
You will also be subject to PMI if you apply for a conventional loan. The PMI is the insurance on the loan. The lender is the beneficiary on the insurance policy. The PMI or private mortgage insurance pays the lender the amount due on the loan if the borrower defaults. The higher the loan amount the higher the insurance premium.
The borrower is the beneficiary on the loan but the lender makes the premium payments. The borrower can expect to pay one to two hundred dollars on each house payment depending on the amount of the loan.
A military veteran on the other hand will not have to pay a down payment. Nor will a military veteran have to pay PMI. The government guarantees the loan so in essence they are the insurance policy in case the VA loan defaults. And because the government guarantees the loan lenders are able to waive the down payment.
Not only is the down payment waived but since the government is the insurance policy on the loan the need for PMI is gone. This is one way the government rewards those who served in the military. The loan benefits veterans but also the country as a whole.
The foundation of strong county is community. A strong community is based on home ownership. Those who own homes make better citizens. The home owner has pride of ownership.
The home is also the foundation of the family. A family with a solid foundation is a strong family. A strong family means a stronger community. The country is made up of communities and the stronger the communities the stronger the country.
The VA bill signed after the Second World War which provides VA loans was passed in order to make this country stronger after fighting a war so that people could be free.
Since the VA bill took effect is has helped countless veterans purchase houses and raise their families. It is the most effective bill in the last one hundred years to help create a strong and proud country.
If you are a military veteran you deserve a reward for your service to your country. This is a great benefit you need to take advantage of for yourself, your family, and your country.
