California Loan Options
California VA Home Loan
Some Benefits of a VA Loan:
Exclusive Loan Benefits:
- 0% Down
- One of the standout features of VA loans is the potential for a zero-down payment, eliminating a significant barrier to entry for eligible borrowers.
- No Monthly Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
- VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance (PMI), resulting in cost savings for eligible borrowers and contributing to a more affordable homeownership journey.
- Discounted Interest Rates
- VA loans offer favorable terms, including competitive interest rates and flexible credit requirements, recognizing the unique financial landscape of military personnel.
- No cash due at closing possible
- In certain cases, VA loans can be structured to require no cash due at closing, providing additional flexibility for veterans during the homebuying process.
- Flexible underwriting
- VA loans incorporate flexible underwriting standards, recognizing the unique financial situations of military personnel. This flexibility enhances the accessibility of homeownership for veterans.
VA Home Loan Limits:
As of January 1, 2020, the VA ceased capping the size of a loan a veteran can obtain with no money down. This change expands opportunities for veterans to purchase higher-vale homes without the constraints of loan limits.
VA Funding Fee to Increase:
It’s important to note that the VA funding fee, a one-time fee paid at closing or rolled into the loan, may increase. The funding fee helps sustain VA loan programs and supports its continued availability to veterans.
