What is a VA Loan?

A VA Loan is a home loan that through the Department of Veterans Affairs and is for eligible Veterans and Active Military.  A VA home does not require a down payment from the borrower for conforming loan limits.  For loans over the conforming loan limit, called VA Jumbo, a down payment is required and is calculated based on the loan amount and the entitlement available.  VA loans have not monthly mortgage insurance.  Instead there is an up front VA Guarantee Fee that can be financed into the mortgage.  VA loans typically have lower interest rates than conventional loans and are a great product for our Veterans.  As a VA Authorized Agent, Clifton Mortgage Services is an expert with VA loans!
