BENEFIT SPOTLIGHT: Veterans Home Loan Guaranties

The VA does not actually lend money to veterans.  The VA guaranty means the lender is protected against loss if the veteran defaults on the loan.  This is an incentive for lending institutions to loan money to veterans.  It is important to keep in mind this type of loan is hard to secure on "fixer-upper" homes due to the VA required inspections.  We often recommend you reach out to the lending institution or a mortgage broker to investigate the best possible loan options for you, once you have located a property you are interested in purchasing.  Though this office is able to assist in the request for VA Home Loan Certificate, the lenders are often able to obtain one within minutes.  If you would like for a service officer to help you make the request please call and schedule an appointment.

We are here to answer your questions.  Please call to set an appointment.  This will afford you an opportunity to speak with a staff member to ensure your bring the correct documentation with you to your appointment.  This will assist in completion of paperwork to obtain the benefits you seek!
