Military Financing

A VA loan is a mortgage option available to Veterans, Service Members, and select military spouses. These loans are issued by private lenders but partially guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This guarantee allows us to offer significantly more favorable terms than traditional financing.

  • No Down Payment: Purchase a home with $0$ down in most cases, preserving your savings.
  • No Monthly PMI: Unlike other low-down-payment loans, VA loans do not require monthly mortgage insurance.
  • Competitive Interest Rates: VA loans typically offer the lowest average interest rates in the industry.
  • Lifetime Benefit: Your VA loan entitlement is not a one-time deal; you can use it multiple times throughout your life.

How Do

VA Loans Support You?

The VA loan process is designed to protect the Veteran. Because Champions Mortgage is experienced in PCS logistics, we understand how to navigate the specific requirements of the VA to ensure your transition is seamless.

  • Certificate of Eligibility (COE): We help you secure the necessary documentation from the VA to prove your entitlement.
  • VA Funding Fee: Most borrowers pay a one-time fee to support the program, which can be rolled into the loan or waived for those with service-connected disabilities.
  • Flexible Credit Standards: The VA is often more forgiving of past credit issues compared to conventional lenders.
  • Closing Cost Limits: The VA limits the types of fees a Veteran can be charged, ensuring a more affordable closing.

Types of VA Loans

1. $0$ Down Payment Purchase

The primary advantage of the VA loan is the ability to finance 100% of the home's purchase price. This allows Veterans to become homeowners sooner without the barrier of a massive down payment.

2. Streamline Refinance (IRRRL)

If interest rates drop, the Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) allows you to lower your rate with minimal paperwork, no appraisal, and no out-of-pocket costs.
