Get Help Navigating Your Mortgage Process
Who Qualifies for VA Loans?
To be eligible for a VA loan, you or your spouse are required to meet the basic service requirements set out by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and also have a valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE). On top of that, you must meet the mortgage lender’s income and credit requirements. Contact Point Mortgage of Miami today to learn about our VA loan income and credit requirements!
Benefits of a VA Home Loan
VA loans help veterans, service people, and their spouses get competitive interest rates that don’t require a down payment or private mortgage insurance. Instead of having to pay 5%, 10%, or 20% down upfront, you pay 0% upfront with a VA loan.
There is also no mortgage insurance required for VA loans, they come with a government guarantee (which is why they come with such favorable terms), and they are easy to qualify for. If you think you qualify for a VA loan and would like to learn more, reach out to Point Mortgage to prequalify for one today!
