Buying with a VA Loan
Eligible active-duty service members, veterans, and surviving spouses may qualify for VA financing when purchasing a primary residence, subject to VA and lender requirements.
- No Down Payment: Qualified buyers may be able to purchase with 0% down.
- No PMI: VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance.
- Competitive Rates: VA financing can offer competitive interest rates.
- Eligible Properties: VA loans may be used for qualifying single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums.
- Funding Fee: Most VA borrowers pay a funding fee, although certain veterans, surviving spouses, and Purple Heart recipients may qualify for an exemption.
- VA Appraisal: The property must meet VA minimum property requirements and receive an acceptable VA appraisal.
Buying with a VA Loan Assumption
An assumable VA mortgage can be an attractive financing option when the seller has an existing VA loan with a low interest rate.
Existing Interest Rate
The buyer may retain the seller’s current interest rate rather than obtaining a new mortgage at today's rate.
Cash Equity
If the purchase price is higher than the remaining mortgage balance, the buyer must cover the difference with cash.
Veteran or Civilian Buyer
You do not have to be a Veteran to assume a VA loan.
Substitution of Entitlement
A qualified Veteran buyer may be able to substitute their VA entitlement, subject to the requirements of the assumption.
Servicer Approval
The seller’s loan servicer must approve the assumption, and the process can take longer than a conventional purchase.
I can help you identify properties with assumable VA loans, understand the equity gap, and coordinate with your lender and the loan servicer throughout the transaction.
