A Veterans Affairs (VA) loan is a home mortgage that’s backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. To be eligible for a VA loan, you must be an active-duty service member, veteran or eligible surviving spouse. A VA home loan requires little or no money down at closing, and even with no down payment, mortgage insurance is not required.
Veterans Affairs (VA) loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses. A Certificate of Eligibility from the VA is required to show whether you qualify based on your service history and duty status. Your mortgage loan officer will work with you to obtain the Certificate of Eligibility and can help you better understand how VA loans work.
Veterans Affairs (VA) loans are available to active-duty service members and veterans who have served at least 90 days of consecutive service during wartime or 181 days during peacetime. National Guard members and reservists are eligible for a VA loan after six years of service or 181 days of active-duty service. Eligible surviving spouses may also qualify. For more information on how to apply for a VA home loan, contact your mortgage loan officer.
There are several ways active-duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses can take advantage of a Veterans Affairs (VA) loan more than once. Here are some ways you may be eligible for another VA loan:
For more information on VA loans, speak with your mortgage loan officer.
A jumbo loan is for single-family homes with loan amounts greater than $726,200. In certain high cost areas, such as Alaska and Hawaii, the loan amount must be greater than $1,089,300. To qualify for a jumbo mortgage loan, you must meet the established guidelines for credit score, income and other personal financial information.
Jumbo loans are mortgages that exceed conforming loan limits. The limit on conforming loans is $726,200 in most areas of the country, but jumbo mortgages can exceed these limits. The limit can be as high as $1,089,300 in certain high cost areas, including Alaska and Hawaii.
A VA jumbo loan is a Veterans Affairs (VA) loan that exceeds the conforming loan limit of $726,200 and up to $1,089,300 in high-cost areas such as Alaska and Hawaii. If you’re an active-duty service member, veteran or eligible surviving spouse, and you meet the income and credit requirements, a VA jumbo loan could be an option for you.
Construction loans are short-term, interim loans used for new home construction, including land, contractor labor, building materials, permits and more. With these loans, the contractor receives disbursements as work progresses. There are several construction loans designed to fit nearly every new home construction need. Some options include construction-only loans and construction-to- permanent loans, where the loan is used for the construction of the home and then converts into a permanent mortgage loan.
Construction loans are short-term loans that cover the cost of building a new home. These loans are usually shorter in duration and proceeds are paid directly to the contractor in installments, or “draws,” as building milestones are achieved. An inspection is typically required before each payment is released to the contractor. To learn more about how construction loans work, connect with your mortgage loan officer.
If you’re considering a construction loan, there are a variety of qualifying factors, including but not limited to, credit score, debt-to-income ratio and credit history. Contact your mortgage loan officer to see if you qualify for a construction loan.
If you’re considering a lot loan, there are a variety of qualifying factors, including but not limited to, credit score, down payment amount and debt-to-income ratio. Contact your mortgage loan officer to learn more about how to get a lot loan.
A lot loan is a mortgage that pays for a residential lot on which a single-family detached home will be built in the near future. It’s different from a construction loan in that it only pays for the lot the home will be built on. The construction loan pays for the construction of the home itself. Condo properties and properties with existing structures on the site are not eligible.
Lot loans are available to qualified buyers who are interested in buying a lot to build a home on. With lot loans, the initial interest rate is fixed for a set period and then becomes variable, adjusting every year for the remaining life of the loan. For example, a 5/1 ARM lot loan has a fixed rate for the first five years and an adjustable rate for the remaining duration of the loan. To learn more about how lot loans work, connect with your mortgage loan officer.
Before buying a condominium, you may want to familiarize yourself with the homeowners’ association and review any condo documents carefully. The process of buying a condo is slightly different from buying a house. While there are similarities, condominium properties typically require an additional approval process to make sure they meet certain standards, including an evaluation of the financial and governance strength of the condo community or building you’re considering. To learn more about how to buy a condo, contact your mortgage loan officer.
Buying a condo can be a great option for first-time home buyers, investors and anyone looking to downsize. Benefits of condo living may include less maintenance and access to on-site amenities like a fitness center or pool. When deciding whether to buy a condo, weigh the pros and cons carefully to determine if it will meet your goals.
There are several things to consider when deciding whether to buy a condo as an investment, such as your financial situation, the location and how well the condo association is managed. If you purchase a condo that’s been well maintained, you may be able to generate a decent return.
