Veteran Home Financing Benefits

July 29, 2008 By admin

Military Servicemembers serve their country, and they act as the first line of defense against those who would act against the United States. So, one of the benefits that are available for Veterans are financing benefits available though the VA. The VA provides a lucrative home financing option that is open to all Veterans who have served on active duty more than 180 days on active duty. They often qualify for attractive and competitive rates that are better than what is available from other source. This is a veterans program through the VA have been expanded and improved in the last few years.

If the veteran qualified for the home loan VA program and wants to purchase a condo, a house, a manufactured home, or any one of a number of different types of housing selections. When a Veteran qualifies for a loan or Home financing option that is guaranteed by the VA, they qualify for up to $417,000 dollars toward a housing mortgage. There are a number of different options, and the housing benefits can be used to refinance, to purchase, to remodel, or a number of different housing purposes. It is a great benefit for veterans, but many veterans either do not know they are qualified for the benefit, or simply never avail themselves of the housing benefit. It is designed to guarantee housing sellers their funding, and financing institutions often welcome the financing with open arms. Two different main choices are available for most veterans and their families who qualify:

Refinance- This guaranteed home loan gives many veterans a VA home loan to pay off their existing loan, and avail them with a better interest rate of a VA home loan. A Veterans Administration housing or home loan allows a Veteran to reduce their interest rate on their current loan by refinancing. This allows a Servicemember to use the option of trading in a high interest loan for an attractive government guaranteed low interest rate VA home loan. A qualified Veteran or Servicemember can choose to use the VA loan program terms, which are very flexible and it benefits a Servicemember to inquire and make full use of the programs, which they qualify for.

Refinancing/Cash Out- This is an option if you want to realize some or all of the money in equity that you have in your current home. As a Veteran, you use the VA home loan to pay off your first home loan, and then you can access the amount between the VA home loan and what it took to pay off your first home loan.
